Girls Empowerment in "A Grand Slam Birthday," by Chrysa Smith

Dynamic, young Dory Oslo turns her frilly cousin Izzy's boring dance party into an extraordinary
baseball game. The turn of events comes as an unusual gift opens up a world of possibilities for the
entire gang at the party. The most unlikely batter wins the game and Dory even learns a new dance
step or two.

Philadelphia, PA May 05, 2022 --(PR.com)-- Chrysa Smith, a resident of Bucks County, PA has just
released her eighth children’s book titled, "A Grand Slam Birthday." Smith has an easy reader series,
"The Adventures of the Poodle Posse," a prequel picture book, "Once upon a Poodle," and her previous
release, "The Upside-Down Gardener."

"In A Grand Slam Birthday," Dory Oslo arrives at her cousin's birthday party, and nobody looks like
they're having too much fun. In fact, the kids are lined up against the wall like toy soldiers. But Dory,
(from The Upside-Down Gardener), turns up the excitement once again as her cousin opens her gift and
finds something that turns the party inside-out and into something quite unexpected. A piñata becomes
baseball practice as frilly cousin Izzy tries her hand at whacking that donkey with a big spoon. After a
few tries, she wallops the toy and it’s contents come flying out. Balls, candy and whistles turn into the
backdrop for a super-exciting game of baseball, complete with announcer! All the kids jump in, as paper
plates serve as bases, big spoon as a bat and a ring pop as a microphone. The MVP of the game turns out
to be none other than the unlikely Izzy, but Dory and her cousin Izzy, and the whole gang at the party
learn a thing or two about fun, trying new things, and having confidence in yourself.

According to The Midwest Book Review,

Chrysa Smith offers a different birthday celebration theme that revolves around translating one's passion
into achievable, enjoyable fun everyone can pursue... Her depiction of how two unfamiliar pursuits
eventually engage the entire party in trying something new makes for an appealing story that goes beyond
the usual birthday themes to encourage kids to problem-solve in more cooperative ways. The message
about trying new things is really a lesson on positivity and creative pursuits. This approach will delight
both picture book readers and their read-aloud parents with a taste of something different.

The book is suggested for primary grade independent readers (age 6+) , Dory fans, baseball and fun
lovers. It is available on her website: wellbredbook.net, where it can be dedicated and signed, or through
Amazon or the Newtown Bookshop.

Smith also writes for adults. She has a column in Bucks County Magazine and Lake & Country Magazine
out of Lake Geneva, WI, and has penned articles for Costco Connections, Philly Style and others.
