Julie's Golden Treasure Chest is an inspiring motivational book for children and adults alike. “Julie’s Golden Treasure Chest” tells the story of a little girl, who felt unloved, all alone. Like the story of the “Ugly Duckling” who thought he wasn’t good enough, was laughed at and made fun of. Julie felt the same way. I could feel so much heartache for this little girl. Was she bad? NO...Was she abused? Yes. Children, who read this story will be able to connect, see that they are not alone in all the ugliness of Child Abuse and bullying. This story brings abuse to the forefront, showing a child that abusers will say or do anything to make you keep their secret. Julie had no choice. Who would believe her? Children abused feel the same way. No child deserves to be abused or bullied. They did not ask for it, and in no way are held responsible. That falls on the abuser. Julie finds herself and hopefully other children will see that they are important, not bad." Mary Graziano Copyrighted 2015 A wonderful story addressing a sensitive issue that shouldn’t have to be told. Well written and illustrated. Jim Litzenberg www.birdsasart.com "Julie's Golden Treasure is a noteworthy work of art. It offers hope and healing to children living with abuse and seeking higher ground. I highly recommend this book to service providers and individuals healing from abuse."
