Kristen Forderer

Children’s book author Kristen Forderer became filled with ideas for stories during the early years watching her daughter develop and grow.

Kristen believes a great book is one that evokes emotion from the reader and has characters they can relate to. She hopes her young readers come away from her stories with tools to help with their own moments of difficulty, and that stay with them long after the book is closed.

When Kristen isn’t writing whimsical stories for children, she enjoys running, playing tennis, reading, traveling, spending as much time as possible with family, and laughing at their two dogs, Doris and Alfie. She lives in El Dorado Hills, California with her husband and daughter.
