About the Author
Julie Murphy lives in north Texas with her husband who loves her, her dog who adores her, and her cats who tolerate her.

She is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the young adult novels Dumplin' (now a film on Netflix), Puddin', Ramona Blue, and Side Effects May Vary. Dear Sweet Pea is her debut middle grade novel, and her picture book debut is Chubby Bunny.
