Julie lives with her husband and their two children. It's My Time to Fly: The Story of Caterpillar Number Five was inspired by a butterfly kit gifted to her son. In observing the caterpillars, Julie was amazed to notice that one caterpillar was developing exactly one day later than the others-doing things in his own time, as she had observed was often necessary for her own students and children.
