Julie Woik is a freelance writer and poet living in Sarasota, Florida. Having worked with young children as a teacher’s aide, as well as in the field of psychiatry, Julie recognized early on the significance of strong self esteem. Armed with a contagiously dynamic personality, she has a unique way of acquainting others with the tremendous value of self worth. Each brilliantly written book of the Lilly the Lash series reflects the child-like playfulness of her spirit, while providing a powerful Life Lesson we all need to learn as young children, and hold dear for the remainder of our journey.
