Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools nationally and internationally, regularly speaks at education and counseling conferences, and has published children's books on a wide range of character and social development topics. The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."

She has illustrated multiple children's books, including several of Julia Cook's previous books, and has also received the AEP (Association for Educational Publishers) Distinguished Achievement Award.
Lester's story is everyone's story! We all know how he
feels...sometimes the pressure starts to build and we need those
important cues to help us deal with our stressors, triggers, and
frustration before we blow. In Soda Pop Head, Julia Cook presents
those important cues in a practical, fun, and creative manner. Soda
Pop Head is a great story to help young people know the right moves
when they are about to blow!Rodger Dinwiddie

This book has been a fantastic resource for the elementary school
counselor. I have used it in classroom guidance lessons and with
individual students. The analogy of explaining anger like a bottle
of pop is easy to understand and has been grasped by my students in
kindergarten all the way to third grade. So many kids will come up
to me in the halls and talk to me about this book or ask me to read
it to them again!Mark
