Julia Kear

Julia is the warm heart behind the beloved Sploot Friends series — stories crafted with the same love and patience she brought to a lifetime of teaching young children. With years of experience nurturing little learners, she knows exactly what makes a child's eyes light up.

When she's not writing, you'll find Julia in her garden, digging in the dirt alongside her beloved dog Beau and her grand-pups Taron and Archie — the kind of joyful, muddy adventures that inspire the very best stories.
