Julia Russo Grant

Julia is an Australian author of children's books that celebrate colour, imagination, and the beauty of seeing the world differently.

Inspired by a deep love of storytelling and a desire to spark curiosity in young minds, Julia writes books that invite children to slow down, wonder, and find magic in everyday things. Her debut titles — The Speckles of Colours in My Heart and Imagine If the World Was Only Two Colours — reflect her belief that the world is richer when we notice what makes each of us unique.

Based in Sydney, Australia, Julia is passionate about creating stories that feel personal, inclusive, and full of heart. She writes under the name @iamifrankly — a heartfelt tribute to her parents, Francesco and Lina — and hopes her books remind every child that their own unique way of seeing the world is something truly worth celebrating.
