Julia Loves Books

Summary


Julia Loves Books is a short children's story about a girl whose love of reading spans every topic imaginable — swimming, tennis, travel, and staying home. But as Julia browses her beloved collection, she notices something surprising: there is no book about her. The story takes a warm, empowering turn as Julia realises that some stories can only be told by the person who lived them, and that a blank page and a pen might be the most exciting discovery of all.
