Karri Theis

Karri Theis is an award-winning children’s book author and freelance writer who lives in Minnesota with her husband, two daughters, and mini Goldendoodle. In 2020, she put her sales and marketing career on hold to navigate distance learning. She also used this time to pursue a lifelong dream of publishing a children’s book. Her first book, "Little Miss Jean and the Time Machine," was inspired by her daughters' and late mother's spiritual connection. "She Dared To Be" is her 2nd book in the series and is inspired by her late grandmother's legacy. It is a "Little Miss Jean" origin story. Karri loves stories—reading, writing, and sharing them and she hopes her books help empower kids (and adults) to use their imagination to create, build, learn, and help others! Other published works include essays for several online blogs and magazines.
