I’m a children’s librarian, writer, teacher, and a  national speaker on literacy for the Bureau of Education & Research. I’m thrilled to announce that I have a brand-new handbook and seminar called The Best Books to Teach the Common Core State Standards for Reading (K-3).  I also teach a seminar called The Best Young Children’s Books for Preschoolers and Kindergartners and How to Use Them to Strengthen Early Literacy Skills, and if you’re interested in hearing more, please contact me.  I have my own website: kristenremenar.com and I am a contributing writer to ReaderKidZ, a website for teachers, librarians, and parents of elementary students.

I am lucky enough to be married to the very talented author/illustrator Matt Faulkner. (Check out his work: mattfaulkner.com) Together we have three lovely children and two mostly-lovely cats. The FaulkneRemenars live in Michigan.
