Chrystie Keller

Chrystie Keller is a children’s author on a mission to help kids feel confident, capable, and connected to their imagination. Her books—The Garden of Calilily (Readers’ Favorite ★★★★★ Award) and The Grody Gang of Mosswoods—use adventure and wonder to introduce subtle lessons about self-belief, courage, and emotional resilience.

Before writing, Chrystie spent years exploring her own limits through endurance and strength sports, including Ironman World Championship events, ultra-distance trail running, bike racing, and physique competitions. These pursuits taught her that real strength comes from within.

Her athletic experiences led her to study mindset, visualization, and confidence-building strategies, ultimately becoming a certified hypnotherapist and mindfulness coach. Chrystie now blends imagination with emotional learning, creating stories that remind children:

You are braver than you think, and capable of more than you know.
