Charis is an award-winning writer based in Toronto. She's also a performer who entertains and educates kids in schools.

Charis writes books about real kids who had unusual childhoods: a three-year-old king, a baby queen, a
seven-year-old concert pianist, a four-year-old
mathematics whiz.

Spend some time with these remarkable children—in a
sunny courtyard in Ancient Egypt, a cold castle in Sweden, backstage in a vaudeville theatre or on a packed and smelly slave ship crossing the Atlantic.

Invite Charis to your school and she’ll bring along a special guest who wears a crown and lives in a palace.
