Julia Cook, M.S. is a national award-winning children's author, counselor, and parenting expert.

The goal behind Cook's work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem solvers.

Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the "what to say" and the "how to say it."

Review:

I love this book! It's great for all volleyball parents, including me. We need to make volleyball fun for our children, believe in the coaches, and always cheer for the team! --Jenny Lang Ping, Head Coach Volleyball Women's National Team.

Julia Cook has captured the heart and soul of what is happening with many of us as we watch our kids compete in the volleyball arena. How better to show us what an impact we have on our kids through such a fun publication. A required reading for all of us who have kids playing youth sports. --Mick Haley, 2000 USA Women's Olympic Volleyball Coach at the Sydney Olympics and current Head Coach of Women's Volleyball at the University of Southern California

USA Volleyball is a proud to be involved with the creation of this book and have our name associated with it. A 'must read' for all parents and children that combines humor with poignant, on-target messages. --Kerry J.W. Klostermann, Secretary General USA Volleyball
