Crystal Bentley is a joy spreaderer (we created this word just for her!) She is known for using the word ‘love’ in copious amounts. For instance, she loves her family, loves her friends, loves nature, loves music, loves dancing, loves laughing, loves homemade hot chocolate, loves local travel (especially since she still has not been on a plane), loves entertaining family and friends, loves silly jokes, and LOVES reminding people that life is wonderful! See? Someone needs to give her a thesaurus!

Crystal is also the author and self-taught illustrator (she loves art) of Sun and Stork-A Contemporary Folktale!

Crystal’s life has been dedicated to uplifting and edifying children’s lives whether as an educator, PTA president, booster club president, Sunday school teacher, a fundraiser for children’s organizations, or organizer of holiday service projects for vulnerable children.

She lives in beautiful, hilly, and historic Kennesaw, GA, a quiet town in northwest GA with her husband, Edward, and their youngest daughter. They have 3 adult daughters, Lauren, Chelsea, and Kaitlyn, who are their pride and joy!

Crystal thinks of life as a daily miracle and will use her unique perspective to create books to instill the beauty of life to your children! She wants everyone to be a crystal and reflect the love and light we all need to thrive!

Crystal has used her unique perspective to happily navigate through all of life’s ups and downs, except the time she lost to a person half her size in an ice cream eating contest! Once she gets past this (and once you buy her book), her life will be pure bliss!
