Director

Judy Cozzens resides with her husband, Jack, in Littleton, Colorado. They are the proud parents of three children. Serge, their oldest is a deputy district attorney; Helen Healy, a teacher by training, is a stay-at-home mom for her five children; and the youngest, Father Andrew, is a Catholic Priest.

In 1999, Judy retired after 25 years of teaching. During those 25 years, she taught every grade from kindergarten through high school, except second grade. She has won numerous awards, including runner-up for Colorado teacher of the year in 1984, the governor's award for excellence in education in 1993, and the Colorado award for Distinguished Teachers in 1998.

 

Director Judy Cozzens with student authors.
 


Judy started teaching kids to write books in 1976, when she directed her fourth graders in writing As Kids See Denver. The project was so successful, she did several other self-published books with kids, selling over 35,000 copies. In 1992, Judy teamed up with John Muir Publishing of Santa Fe, New Mexico to produce seven books in the "Kids Explore" series, which sold over 200,000 copies. When John Muir Publishing was sold, Judy published The Kids Book of the 50 Great States, with Scholastic Publishing.

Judy waited until she retired from teaching in public schools to do a book on her Catholic heritage, so that the proceeds could benefit Catholic education. Kids Explore America's Catholic Heritage reflects her love for the Church and her experience in directing book projects written by children.
