Julia Barnes

Julia grew up on Long Island, New York. Her mother is Swedish and her father is American. Julia is lucky to be able to spend summers with her Swedish family in Sweden.

As a child, she always loved reading and writing stories. After receiving a Master’s in Elementary Education and a Bachelor’s in Psychology, Julia set forth to educate young children. She has a strong passion for teaching mindfulness and meditation and is a certified Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher.

After teaching for many years, and working with young children, Julia saw the impact low self-esteem has on children. This inspired her to write stories that send a positive message to all children. Her books reveal the simple yet profound message she wants all her little readers to remember:

YOU ARE ENOUGH AS YOU ARE.
