Julie Thompson is a Canadian author of books for children and youth. She has worked with those age groups for over twenty-seven years and is a police officer and a youth communication specialist. As a mother of two boys, it's very important to Julie to create stories that resonate with young readers and focus on diverse characters, everyday obstacles and some of the larger issues that marginalized and racialized individuals experience. In 2018 the City of Markham honored Julie for her outstanding work with youth within the Black community. Julie lives in Toronto with her children.
