Celebrating Books that Honor Nature and Wildlife
Background and Services
About Kristen Halverson
I'm a seasoned children's book author, leadership scholar, and educator. I have used my picture books since 2016 as a means of communication to raise awareness of issues like equine welfare, climate change, wildlife conservation, and ocean preservation. My literary work has been my passion, and I've enjoyed giving back to my local community and leading organizations with my books.
. I enjoy spending time with my rescued horses and traveling. Currently, I'm working on a nature inspirational book that celebrates hope and wildlife.
Certified English Language Instructor
I began teaching English as a Second Language in 2002 to adults and hold a TESOL and TEFL certification. Currently, I teach English online to children and adults from all around the world. I have traveled extensively and love learning about different cultures. More importantly, I enjoy helping my students accomplish their educational and professional English goals and dreams. I specialize in conversation development, business communication, phonics, business English, test prep, essay writing, along with HR processes.
Public Library and School Programs: Speaker
Since 2016, I have been committed to delivering year-round outreach reading programs for public libraries and advancing literacy through my writing. In my portfolio right now, there are 23 storybooks. My titles are available from Ingram Content. My programs cater to second through sixth grade. My animal-themed children's books emphasize themes of kindness, animal education, and wholesome core values. I've facilitated numerous programs in Iowa, Colorado, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. In 2025-2026, I will be marketing my barn owl conservation storybook along with a nature inspirational book for all ages.
