Kristi Clainos

Kristi has loved children's books for as long as she can remember. She finally turned her dream of writing them into a reality. Collaborating with her sister as the illustrator has made the experience even more special. As a former elementary school teacher, Kristi has had the chance to connect closely with young readers, inspiring her to create stories she hopes will spark imagination and encourage kindness, courage, and empathy.

Kristi is also a film and television actress based in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and two children, who keep her imagination busy everyday.
