Meet Kristi Mumm.
Former teacher.... now a Mama in her Author era :)
Hello and welcome!
For years, I dreamed of writing books but always shelved the ideas for “later.” When I became a mama, I stepped away from the classroom and decided it was finally time to bring my stories to life! Now, I couldn’t be more excited to see families and classrooms sharing smiles, giggles, and special moments through my books.
During my teaching journey, I learned sign language to communicate with a student—and I completely fell in love with it! That experience inspired me to collaborate with a Deaf consultant and make picture books that teach sign language.
As one of my first graders once said, “Everyone should learn sign language because it stretches your brain, and you can make new friends.” I couldn’t agree more. My hope is to help build bridges through inclusive and engaging stories.
My "Drama Kitty" series is based on the true (and very dramatic) antics of a real-life cat—guaranteed to bring giggles and, of course, lots of drama!
My "Sign With Me" series and "Sign With Friends" series are both close to my heart. They introduce sign language in fun, interactive ways that are kid friendly and make signs easy to learn!
All my books are inspired by the people who have truly changed my life.
Remember, if you have a dream to write, teach, or create… you can.
And I hope you do.
Happy reading, my friend!

Dear Jack,
You make me want to be the very best that I can be. You are my sidekick and my inspiration.
I love being your mama. I am so excited to show you this world, and even more excited to see how you choose to live in it.
I love you so much!!
