About the Book Julia is the story of two young people growing up in the middle of the forest in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. They are home schooled. They don’t watch television or listen to pop music. Instead they converse with a tree and adopt an abandoned fawn. And, through their adventures, they learn the lessons of life and death and the meaning of community.

About the Author Munira Judith Avinger lives on 100 acres in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. She spends as much time as possible in little cabin which she built in the middle of the woods. She likes to write, play music and wander through the forest and she has been known upon occasion to talk to trees.

Lisa Neulicht lives on a small farm with her human and animal family. She enjoys contemplating the Great Mystery while messing around in the orchards and gardens, while picking flowers and watching the birds, while walking in the Cascade Mountains and on the beaches of Puget Sound, and while being a Mom. She has always found herself drawing or painting, and is still amazed every time when something magically appears on that empty piece of paper.
