Maria Spithaki (Sociologist - Pedagogue - Writer)

 

“I am a children’s book author, and at the same time I work by teaching children, which gives me daily, direct contact with their world and the way they think. My involvement in education has helped me understand more deeply their needs, their concerns, and their incredible imagination — all elements I try to incorporate into my stories.

I began writing because I believe that children’s books can build a bridge between learning and imagination. Through my books, I aim to cultivate values, encourage creativity, and offer children stories that not only entertain them but also help them better understand themselves and the world around them.

My work with children constantly fuels my writing: their questions, their curiosity, and their unique perspective inspire me to create new stories. As a creator, I try to write with simplicity, sensitivity, and a touch of humor, so that every child can find something meaningful within the pages.

My goal is to continue creating books that speak to children’s hearts and help them grow with a love for reading and knowledge.”
