Julie Ann Voigt teaches children how to foster their creativity as an elementary school art teacher in Park Ridge, IL. She was very excited for the opportunity to illustrate this book for her father, Jimmy Ryan. Check out Julie's SCBWI page here. Julie has her BA in Education & Art from Concordia University Chicago, and her MA in Education from St. Xavier University. Julie lives in Mt. Prospect, IL with her husband, Collin, and two children, Declan and Aubrey. This is Julie’s first time illustrating a children’s book, and she is eager to start illustrations for a new project soon!
