ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children’s books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
As an educator, a parent, and an incredibly creative children's book author, Julia Cook proves once again that she clearly knows how to pick her topics. This time around, the subject of her scrutiny is none other than the disrespectful treatment of boogers. The b undertones of good hygiene and infection control are well-disguised by her humor, the hilarious illustrations, and a few well-placed tissues. This book is sure to put boogers in their rightful place and make everyone who reads it laugh out loud!
