Stephanie Karr: Creator of Iam the Lamb

Meet Stephanie Karr, a college faculty member teaching pharmacology & toxicology, as well as a visionary author and product developer of Christian-focused books and keepsakes that center around a lamb named "Iam". The name came to Stephanie in a moment of divine providence and she later learned that Iam is Hebrew for "He will be" or "He is" and this reinforced the name of her main character, an adorable lamb that undertakes adventures that lead him (and the reader) closer to Christ's teachings.

During our time together, we talk about Stephanie's marriage that was first founded in Christian friendship and then grew to welcome two daughters and a pair of identical twin boys. We talk through Stephanie's walk with faith through her pregnancies and her desire to help lead more individuals and families into a positive, Christ-focused relationship. Her desire is that her Iam the Lamb keepsake gifts and books will be enjoyed by families year-after-year to establish tradition and create special memories for each season.

Stephanie's latest book which focuses on Iam the Lamb's adventures during Advent showcases the many symbols and their meanings during the season leading up to Christmas. It can be paired with the plush lamb and next year, a beautiful wooden Advent calendar will also be available for sale to round out the offering.

Stephanie's future projects include seeing both of her twin boys off to college in 2026 and expanding her product line to include baby clothing and keepsakes.
