Crystal Bowman
Crystal Bowman is a former preschool teacher, author, and speaker.
She graduated from Calvin College with a degree in elementary education
and studied early childhood development at the University of Michigan.
Her writing career began in 1990 as a lyricist for children's piano
music. She began writing children's books in 1993 and has since written
more than 70 books for children and 3 for women. She has written books
for many popular children's series, such as Little Blessings, BOZ the
Bear, MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), and I Can Read! She has also

As a speaker, Crystal enjoys sharing her stories and poetry with
students in the classroom and also with adults at teachers' conventions,
writers' conferences, and women's seminars. "Writing and speaking can be
intimidating because in order to connect with your audience you need to
be personal and transparent, exposing what's in your heart and soul. But
when readers or conference attendees respond positively to something
I've said or written, it is humbling and rewarding all at the same
time!"
