Novelist and picture book author Kristine Franklin grew up in Washington state, lived in Central America and South America, and now resides in Minnesota. A very popular speaker with both boys and girls, she was the first author chosen to speak to the Guys Read book clubs in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Her fun-loving sense-of-humor is a big hit with teachers and students alike.

Whether Kris is talking about developing life-like characters, a page-turning plot, researching historical facts, or writing a critique paper, she has a kind and positive way of connecting with children and adults.
