Meet the Creators

Crafted with love by a husband-wife team. We’re Kristin & Derek, an author-illustrator couple based in Tampa, Florida and the creators of the Brudders® children’s brand.

LIKE YOU, WE SHARE A VISION

* We want to counter the over-stimulative and negative effects that digital media can sometimes have on our youth.

* We want to foster a generation of mentally healthy and emotionally intelligent children.

* We want to inspire kids to learn through nature and enjoy our beautiful physical earth.

* And most importantly, we want to help encourage kids to believe in themselves and the value they can bring into this world.

Built on Faith, Hope & Love

We built this brand as a couple grounded on faith, and through our writing and illustrations, we’ve been able to restore the timeless power that faith, hope, and love can bring into children’s literature and homes.

We invite you to experience the enchantment of the new Brudders® series and take home a signed copy of our books for the little ones in your life.
