How it began
A love of teaching grew into a place for learning, creativity, and connection.
After more than ten years in education and nearly three years in event planning, Julianna started Book & Bloom while on maternity leave, around three months postpartum. She wanted to create a career and lifestyle where her family could be incorporated into her work in a natural and organic way.
One of the things she loves most about Book & Bloom is that her husband, Jake, and their son can be part of the learning experiences, classes, and community she is building alongside the people and families she serves.
“A place where families, friends, caregivers, and children can bloom together.”
Experience behind the brand
Professional experience, shaped into something deeply personal.
Julianna is certified from Birth through 6th Grade and holds a Reading Endorsement from Graceland University.
Thoughtful details, local partnerships, and welcoming gatherings are part of the Book & Bloom experience.
Julianna’s approach
Thoughtful enough for adults. Playful enough for children.
Learning with purpose
Activities are chosen with children’s developmental milestones in mind, drawing from Julianna’s experience in early-childhood education and structured literacy.
Creative freedom
Children are encouraged to explore materials, make choices, and enjoy both process and product art without pressure to create one perfect result.
Connection for everyone
Book & Bloom is designed to feel welcoming for children, families, friends, caregivers, and anyone looking for meaningful connection.
The experience in action
Real stories, real creativity, real connection.
