Julie Olson was born and raised in Maryland—the sixth of nine kids. She always wanted to be different from her brothers and sisters, so while they became doctors, lawyers, electrical engineers, or statisticians, Julie dreamed of becoming an illustrator. Now, she has three children of her own and illustrates children’s books from her home studio. Her most recent books include There’s Always a Way, Annie McRae by Brad Wilcox and Christmas Love by Candy Chand. Julie and her family live in Spanish Fork, Utah.
