“I know from the feedback I'm getting from kids and their parents that they value the educational opportunities and fun that the Desert Dwellers Flash Cards provide, but I’m thrilled that my creative work is being recognized by professionals in my field. The hard work, artistic animals, and details I put into the cards payed off!” said Julie.

Julie created 'Desert Dwellers: Southwest Animals from A-Z', a set of colorful flash cards with facts and stories to teach her son Syver the alphabet and about desert animals.
Itching to get creative again after time spent bringing up her baby, she set to work painting.
