Julia Blackburn is a children's author, nature lover, and former BBC Berkshire book reviewer. Her middle-grade nature adventure series, The Songbird Choir, follows the birds of Riverside Garden as they face bullies, predators, and impossible choices-discovering that even the smallest voices can make the biggest difference. The Lost Dragonflies -longlisted for the Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition-also celebrates the healing power of nature and wild creatures.
Julia co-authored the cozy mystery The House at Riverside Lane (Momentum Press/Joffe publishing), before turning her focus to children's fiction. A lifelong lover of the natural world, Julia writes from her desk with her loyal dog, Muttley, curled beneath her chair, and collaborates with her daughter Louisa, who illustrates all her books. Together, they bring stories of wonder, courage, and the natural world to life for children everywhere.
