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.
Author Chrysa Smith yet again delivers another charming story that young readers can easily connect with. Centered around themes of trying new things and perseverance, the strong-willed main character, Dory, discovers the wonder and beauty that nature has to offer. It is a delightful read that deserves a place on every bookshelf.

The Upside-Down Gardener is an exceptional read. It links growing plants to a broader discussion of growing new ideas and problem solving. Highly Recommended!
