Kristen Schroeder lives in Maple Grove, Minnesota with her husband and children. She and her family are dual American Australian citizens and consider Melbourne their second home. Some of Kristen’s best childhood memories involve discovering a new favorite book or author at her local library. Books introduced her to other countries and worlds. Kristen began writing for children in 2014 in between running a business and raising her kids. She credits 12×12 with helping her write enough well-polished manuscripts to start querying agents. She is repped by Christa Heschke from McIntosh & Otis. Her debut picture book, ALIEN TOMATO, came out with Page Street Kids in July 2020 in the middle of a global pandemic. FREDDY THE NOT-TEDDY was published in May 2022 by EK Books and SO MUCH SNOW releases in September 2022 with Penguin Random House.
