Julie Cantrell’s picture books draw on her background as a certified speech-language pathologist and literacy advocate. The “God Is with Me” pair, published in 2009 by Zonderkidz, use photographs of baby animals and simple sentences to help preschoolers with separation anxiety and fear of the dark.
Dog Saves Duck (2022) came out more than a decade later and tells the true story of Cantrell’s own golden retriever, who took in a baby duckling after a fierce storm. The book uses real family photographs and teaches empathy and kindness to young readers.
