Julia Heywood

Julia Heywood pens playful tales for little ones and witty, thought-provoking musings for the 'slightly' grown-up. Her whimsical writing style inspires laughter, curiosity and wonder in children and inspires insightful, reassuring reflection in adults. Her previous works: The Barefoot Indian and Miracles Are Made Of This, received international acclaim.

Beyond writing, Julia has a deep love for animals, the tranquillity of the sea, and the beauty of rural landscapes. She finds inspiration in nature and all creatures great and small.
