His wife, Kate Endle, has influenced his transformation and writing style for kids. Chris also composes music for commercials and television.

Her illustrations can be found in magazines, greeting cards, children's books, and home décor products. After years of collecting unique paper, she realized it was time to put her supplies to use. With scissors, acrylic medium, and a wide selection of hand-painted and decorative papers, she created another avenue for her love of design and color. Original art and Kate Endle collage prints can be found at her online shop at KateEndle.com.
