While leading teams in fast-growing tech companies and raising three young children, Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer. During that time, she noticed many books about grief focused on the sadness and the tears, but not the laughter that still shows up in the middle of everything. When she could not find a story that gave children permission to feel both, she wrote one. Julie's essays have been featured in \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTODAY\u003c\/i\u003e. She loves the ocean, the outdoors, the love of her life Dave, and spending every possible minute enjoying life with her friends and family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Julie Devaney Hogan \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47897156976797,"sku":"9781643434322","price":26.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_54bc896a-11f0-46e2-af71-f9a7650705de.jpg?v=1778003015","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/its-still-ok-to-laugh-9781643434322","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
