Hi, I’m Julie Telgenhoff, an independent author and creator of The Body Buddies.

I created this series because I believe children deserve to understand their bodies in a way that feels simple, fun, and memorable.

Through colorful characters, humor, and the idea of the body as a busy little house, I turn complicated concepts into stories young children can understand.

My hope is that The Body Buddies series sparks curiosity and helps kids grow up feeling connected to and amazed by the incredible bodies they live in.
