Author and illustrator Kimberly Stringer has been an early childhood educator for more than 35 years. She has a strong belief that children need to be outside, so she has specialized in an outdoor curriculum for the private schools she has operated in Wichita, KS. Before the pandemic, she operated Kreative Kids, a pre-school, out of her home but has since opened her private operation to ages three through grade five in a recently purchased building.

Kim has always been creative in her use of books and storytelling and loves to feature her own students in her books. As long as she has students, she will never run out of books or storytelling ideas to share with them and the world.
