Juliet Cody is an immigrant from Colombia. She came to America as a child. The family lived in Hoboken, New Jersey for three years. Having parents who grew up on the tropical beaches of the Caribbean, the family soon moved to the beaches of Southern California where she still resides. She married, had a daughter, and taught pre-kindergarten until blindness struck. Despite this unexpected life event, Juliet chose to not sit still in the dark; instead, she turned on the light of independence and pursued new, exciting dreams. She became involved in the blind community and returned to school with her guide dog, Marly. She received twenty-seven scholarships and earned her BA and MA in Literature and Writing. To bring positive awareness to the abilities of the blind, she has dedicated her career to writing children's books based on her life experiences told from the perspective of her guide dogs.
