Charley's Columbia Backyard was written by Caroline Coleman Bennett. Bennett attended Hammond School, Hand Middle, and Dreher High School. Bennett graduated from Clemson University in business management and communication. After graduation, she wrote speeches for the president of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. She also wrote the Chamber's newsletter and freelanced for several magazines including Palmetto Parent and Sandlapper.

The book was published by the Palmetto Conservation Foundation. Others who helped to bring it to fruition are Columbia Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau, Charlotte Berry, Carolina First Bank, and Prudential Palmetto Realtors. A generous contribution from The South Financial Group Foundation will put 1,600 books in the hands of Columbia children who otherwise would not be able to have one. It can be found at the Happy Bookseller and various gift shops.
