About the creator/author
Georgianna Karamitos
My life’s work and purpose have always been centered around helping give a voice to those who may be unable to use or find their own. I have been fortunate to carry several different roles throughout my life: as an elementary and high school teacher, a family lawyer, as well as a trauma-certified conflict management coach, mediator and trainer who is passionate about helping families, schools, organizations and youth thrive through adversity. The most important role, however, which I have carried throughout my life, is that of mother to my two beautiful children, Anthony (17) and Evianna (12) who are my life’s greatest inspirations, loves and blessings.
My books, my heart’s work, The Lock, The Key and The Missing Piece, consist of a 3-part true story series which is based on my son’s journey; a journey which was filled with overwhelm, uncertainty and confusion as we found ourselves in an unknown world of various diagnoses. These books are, however, meant to provide hope and comfort to children and families navigating their way through similar challenges. The Courage to Be Me, explores the world of a child who often feels his actions and behavior are misunderstood while My Heavy Backpack, explores the lives of various children who have to face traumatic experiences. Both of these books will hopefully provide a powerful lens for educators and adults who can gain a greater empathic insight into the lives of such children.
In addition to my 5 books, I have authored Stepping Stones: Educational Activities for Speech, Language and Communication Skills Development: Volumes I & II (over 300 pages each). These two volumes contain 80 activities, on 10 different categories of learning.
All of my books and materials are a division of my publishing company, Marguerite Books, based in Canada.
