Julie

Julie has called Durango home for over 20 years, before which she lived in Chicago where she was a writer/producer for a public relations firm. When she's not straightening out the childrens' section in the shop, Julie is home with her husband and three cats, running with her golden retriever, or sending care packages to her daughter at graduate school. She collects vintage childrens' and cookery books, and tries to keep up with requests for her hand knit slipper socks.

Julie is our Childrens' and Sidelines Buyer; contact her at julie@mariasbookshop.com.

My absolute favorite childhood series beginning when Betsy is 5 years old and continuing on until she gets married. In between, there are over 10 books. The first four titles are illustrated by the beloved illustrator, Lois Lenski. You, too, can become a card carrying member of the Betsy-Tacy Society along with Anna Quinlan, Bette Midler and me.
