About the Author

Monte W. Harris

Monte W. Harris has been crafting stories since he was a child, inspired by the wonders of nature and the luminous, limitless imagination of youth. His "Critter Kingdom" series aims to bring joy, laughter, and a touch of wisdom to bedtime routines everywhere.

With a background in education and a passion for storytelling, Monte believes that every child deserves to see themselves in the pages of a book. His stories often feature underdog characters who, through the discovery of their unique strengths, overcome their disabilities and challenges.

When he's not writing, Monte enjoys exploring the great outdoors, playing pinball and pool, and helping on nature projects—picking up litter and caring for the trees.
