Shrieks and Sounds and Things Abound: The Quiet Wants of Julien J.

by Dr. Drew Palacio, Apolline Etienne (Illustrator)

Overview

Julien ran, full of excitement and glee,

and tucked himself under a big oak tree.

The school day was through, and his homework was done.

Finally, he could read Bluebullet (Issue 161)!

All Julien J. wants to do is read his comic book in peace, but when distractions interrupt him time and time again, his frustration boils over. Julien kicks at the ground, he yells, he cries, and when the dust settles, he can't believe what he sees-Bluebullet, the hero from his comic book, is standing right in front of him! 

Learn what Bluebullet has to say about working through the most frustrating moments like a true superhero!

About the Author

Dr. Drew Palacio grew up in Mendocino County, California. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco and currently practices in Kansas. Dr. Drew practices a variety of evidence-based treatments (child-centered play therapy, parent management training, parent-child interaction therapy, and child-centered cognitive therapy for anger and aggression) for a wide range of child diagnoses. Dr. Drew develops curative pathways for children that are both flexible and systemic. He implores the partnership and efforts of family, school, and community. To maintain a child-like wonder, Dr. Drew regularly immerses himself in comic books, video games, anime, and toys. His pocket-sized notepad is always near and ready when inspiration for a new tale arises. Colleagues have remarked on his ever-unique mind, and children delight in Dr. Drew's assortment of bow ties. Through a collection of brightly illustrated stories, along with qualifications derived from more than ten years of providing compassionate care and therapeutic interventions to children and families, Dr. Drew is eager to help as many households as he can.
