Crystal Holscher

Crystal is a speech-language pathologist that started writing children's books following her father-in-law's stroke. She thought her book, "Why is Papa Talking Funny?" could help other children, much like hers, understand aphasia. She received such great feedback from her professional and personal community, that she went on to write other books about neurological disorders for children. As the overall population ages, younger children will benefit from information regarding some aging processes and diseases. Children may be frightened or sad about changes in adults in their lives, and Crystal's books tell them, in a story form, what activities they can still do with these adults and that love persists. Crystal then went on to write children's books about uniqueness in honor of her daughters. They focus on embracing individuality.
