My life has been one of travel and curiosity. I am an author, storyteller, teacher, photographer, gardener, food enthusiast and world traveller. I studied Mandarin Chinese at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst while pursuing an undergraduate degree in marketing. After graduating, I taught and studied in Mainland China and Taiwan for three years. I returned to Boston in 2010, where I decided to build upon my passion for teaching and writing. I am currently studying to obtain a Masters in Elementary Education and Creative Arts in Learning at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. My debut Children's book, Chocrotes and the World Without Question, was published by Libboo on April 18th, 2012.

"Chocrotes and the World Without Questions" is the most brilliant tale of all times. It beautifully teaches children, and thus the future generations, that questions are good. I loved the story and certainly enjoyed the telling. It is a great book that needs to be in every household throughout the world. It is an excellent tool to teach children that to live is to question, and that there can be many answers to every question. It is an excellent way to create more questions giving parents adequate reason to spend quality time together.
Chocrotes is born in the time when chickens cannot ask questions. This is a horrible time in the history of the chickens that are very wise and learned. From the moment he hatches, he starts questioning, which brings delight to his parents and also terror to their souls. You see, all those who question are banished from the kingdom and later killed. Chocrotes grows up playing the game of no questions until he goes to the University and can’t hold them in any longer. As soon as he asks his question, he is taken, in exile, to an island. There, his best friend, Marco Polo, rescues him five years later. Determined to bring questions back to his fellow chickens, he unites all those who had left the kingdom years earlier to make war on the no questions king.
This tale is very well-written, a great entertainment for the whole family. It is easy to read and a source of great learning, mingled with fantasy. What s great job by Steve Berkowitz!
