Circle of Friends: A Julia Storybook, also sometimes titled as Julia's Circle of Friends: A Julia Storybook is a 2019 digital storybook produced as part of the Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children initiative and released on sesamestreet.org.
The book features Julia attending her first day of camp. She is a little worried, but her brother Samuel is there and her friends Elmo and Abby Cadabby are both also attending camp and assure her that it will be fun. She is also guided by camp counselor Mia. After seeing a boy named Randy, who also has autism, being bullied, she stands up for him and later becomes friends with him. The two bond through their stuffed toys Fluffster and Peanut.
The title was also published in Spanish as Círculo de amistad de Julia.
