Karissa Chmil

Karissa Chmil spent her childhood running through Indiana cornfields, climbing the French alps, and exploring West African savannas, learning from a young age that there is delight hidden in every corner of the world. Now she writes stories that help kids fall in love with goodness, sweeping them off on quests while showing that virtue is the greatest adventure of all. When she’s living a story rather than writing one, you can find her studying foreign languages, ink drawing with fountain pens, and coddiwompling across whatever tree-ish place she can find.
