Kristine Angela

Kristine Angela is an author, actress, and voice-over artist originally from Chicago, IL, and currently residing in Los Angeles, CA. She is enthusiastic about sharing her first book with children of all ages who have ever felt lost, alone, or unwanted. As a young girl, Kristine cherished reading and writing. She composed her first poem titled, "Reading is my Life," at the tender age of six.

Her inspiration for Cuppy came from hours upon hours of reading everything in her local library as a child, from The Berenstain Bears, Amelia Bedelia, The Magic School Bus, Arthur, Where the Sidewalk Ends, to every Dr. Seuss book she could get her hands on. The beauty of Cuppy is that he doesn’t realize just how perfect he really is in an imperfect world.

"Cuppy the Special Cupcake is a sweet, fun, and easy-to-read children's story with an important message. Young children will surely enjoy hearing Kristine Angela's unique retelling of the classic "Ugly Duckling" fairy tale." - NY Literary Magazine
