== Works ==
Smith's most recognized book, ''A Taste of Blackberries'' (HarperCollins, 1973), earned critical acclaim, and comparisons with ''Charlotte's Web'' (HarperCollins, 1952). In the early 1970s, along with authors Katherine Paterson and Judy Blume, Smith established "a solid reputation for accessible fiction with serious themes." ''A Taste of Blackberries'' "deals honestly and emphatically with the range of emotions," wrote Cynthia Westway in ''The Atlanta Journal'', 1973, "... the story is not, however an elegy; but a celebration of the continuity of the life-death cycle." In ''The Times Literary Supplement'', 1975, David Rees declared, "It will be difficult to find a children's book this autumn by a new author as good as Doris Buchanan Smith's ''A Taste of Blackberries''." "It blazed the way for the many other grief books that quickly followed, but few have approached the place of honor this one holds," wrote Jim Trelease in ''The Read-Aloud Handbook'' (Penguin, Sixth Edition, 2006).
''A Taste of Blackberries'' won the Josette Frank Award, the Georgia Children's Book Award, and the Best Translated Children's Book Prize in the Netherlands (Zilveren Griffel). It is an ALA Notable Children's Book, a 1974 Newbery Medal finalist, and has been translated into Dutch, Danish, French, Spanish and Japanese. In a review for the ''School Library Journal'' (2002), Ann Welton wrote that Smith's book is "rightfully viewed, along with Katherine Paterson's ''Bridge to Terabithia'', 1977, as one of the seminal children's books on the subject of death."
''Return to Bitter Creek'', 1986, received the Parents' Choice Award, and was a ''School Library Journal and Publishers Weekly'' Best Book of the Year. ''Last Was Lloyd'', 1981, was named a ''School Library Journal'' Best Book of the Year. Smith also wrote ''Voyages'', 1980, ''The First Hard Times'', 1983 and ''The Pennywhistle Tree'', 1991, which, along with ''Bitter Creek'', were all named ALA Notable Children's Books by the American Library Association. Smith's last published work was ''Remember the Red Shouldered Hawk'', in 1994.
