About the Author
Julie Gerdes Becnel has always been enchanted by the myths and folk tales that shape our collective imagination. Her love of storytelling has taken many forms: from poetry and short fiction to the two children's plays she authored, Journey to the Emerald City and Into the Swamp, which toured with the Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre’s Ballet for Children program. Through her creative consultancy, Little Rouge Hen, she helps organizations tell their own stories with clarity and heart. She draws inspiration from the folklore and natural beauty of her Louisiana home. When she isn’t writing or helping clients, she can be found exploring nature with her husband, two children (Bug & Bean), and her very own Lou-ga-rou. Her debut children’s book, Roux’s First Day, was released this year by Pelican Publishing.
