Cason D. Smithson

Cason D. Smithson is an author and illustrator who creates family-friendly, thought-provoking stories.

He's always wanted to fill the world with positive content, creating a safe place in his work for anyone who might be struggling.

While studying Illustration at Brigham Young University-Idaho, he learned how prayer and faith can transform the creative process.

As a dad of four, he's a big believer in the power of play. He thinks the best way to learn—whether it's a new skill or getting past writer's block—is with good dance music and maybe a princess dress or two.
