Once Upon a Poodle
In a quiet home, where mini-poodle Woody lives alongside his sweet, loving, and often daft human mom, there is room for exploration, hope, and the funniest of adventures.
Like any dog, Woody wants more of a playmate than his mom, Mrs. Flout, can be. Having the ‘zoomies’ are just what dogs like to do, and well, Mrs. Flout is a little too old for racing.
In Once upon a Poodle, lessons about holding onto dreams, growing a family and using the skills you already possess come together with hilarious illustrations and imagination, as Woody sets out to find the perfect playmate. Feathers fly, nuts are cracked and gardens are harvested in the most unexpected of ways, as an array of unusual house guests romp through the Flout house.
Woody holds onto hope—being resilient until he solves his problem. With a fairytale-like tone, this story invited children to use their imagination and never stop trying to achieve their goals.
A perfect read-aloud for younger children, Once upon a Poodle is a modern picture book that tickle children and adults alike—wanting to hear the story again and again.

About the Author
Chrysa Smith
Well, let’s see—I’ve spent over 20 years as a freelance magazine writer, covering everything from celebrity chefs and luxury resorts to homing pigeons and pot-bellied pigs. Along the way, my work has appeared in publications like Costco Connection, Pool & Spa Living, Bucks County Magazine, Philly Style, Design NJ, The Cooperator, and more. But beyond the bylines, these experiences have given me a wealth of knowledge about fascinating people, places, and topics.
In the world of children’s literature, I’ve been fortunate to receive multiple Mom’s Choice Awards for excellence in Juvenile Fiction, a top pick on Amazon’s Children’s Bookshelf, a Females in Fiction award, and glowing reviews from The Children’s Book Review and Midwest Book Review. With an endorsement from The Dove Foundation, my passion for storytelling continues to grow. But just as much as I love writing for kids, I love engaging with them in classrooms—sharing the magic of storytelling and the journey behind the words.









This story lends well to a parental read aloud. Colorful illustration, fun personalities. Kids will relish the lively, positive story of a little dog who hold on to hope and never gives up!
