Kyrsten Amanto

Kyrsten Amanto, a Pennsylvania born and bred educator, is not your typical dog-loving kindergarten teacher. She is also a children's book author, captivating young readers and listeners with relatable tales. What sets Kyrsten's stories apart is her intelligent, loyal German Shorthaired Pointer, Pepper, who takes center stage. Pepper, her canine companion, serves as a guiding light, using her natural pointing instincts to help young readers navigate through valuable life lessons. Aside from Kyrsten's Bachelor's Degree in English and Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, having spent countless hours in various classrooms and conversations with children lends itself to her understanding the importance of creating relatable, entertaining places for children to embark on a lesson of self discovery through reading.
