She is a frequent and hugely popular performer in schools, libraries and at all the major literary festivals, where she creates her own music magic. Axel Scheffler is a star illustrator within the children's book world, and his books have been translated into over 30 languages. His bright, humorous illustrations are a perfect complement to Julia's lively songs.
