Demetre Balaktsis emigrated to Canada as a child and learned English by reciting lines from Sesame Street, Electric Company, and his favourite children's books. As a public-school teacher, he kept his students engaged by telling them stories-modern day parables that spoke to Christian values with a dramatic flair. After performing several of his stories on stage, Demetre devotes himself to bringing the same level of energy and passion on to every page of his books to entertain and inspire every reader.
