Squirrel Tales Illustrator Visit: Julie Benbassat

Written by Caldecott winner Matthew Burgess and illustrated by Julie Benbassat, Mungo on His Own is the comforting story of a young fox’s adventure of independence and resilience. This lush picture book supports social emotional learning while helping children process the excitement—and uncertainty—of doing things on their own.
Julie Benbassat is an award winning illustrator and painter based in Philadelphia. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019, she has amassed a range of clients in editorial, publishing, games, and animation.
