Crystal Thomson

Crystal Thomson is a children's author, poet, and advocate whose stories gently explore themes of self-love, inner strength, and emotional understanding. She is the creator of The Mirror Tree, Graizee and Bumble, and The Wind, the Wild, the Song, the Sun—each written with a heart for children navigating big feelings or being beautifully different.

Crystal draws inspiration from her work as a caregiver, photographer, and mother—often weaving her own experiences into empowering stories that validate and uplift young readers. Her books are known for their soft painterly illustrations, rich emotional depth, and timeless charm.

She lives in Vermont, surrounded by nature, laughter, and the quiet magic of everyday life. When she’s not writing or illustrating, you’ll find her foraging wild herbs, singing in the car, or walking barefoot with her yellow Lab, Graizee.
