” I truly loved Young World Travelers!! It was fun, informative and FULL of wonderful facts!”

Five Star Review on Amazon by Dr. Maria Angeliadis

I truly loved Young World Travelers!! It was fun, informative and FULL of wonderful facts! That is especially what my husband, Gregory loved. He read it cover to cover because he loved reading the historical facts on the World’s Fair. The pictures are enticing and make you want to read to find out. As an educator, I think it is very important for children to know about the wonderful things that have historically occurred in their own country and Young World Travelers promotes that learning!!! I purchased the book for my granddaughters and they both loved it. The 9 year old said she read it straight through because she didn’t want to put the book down before she finished!! As a teacher, I HIGHLY recommend this fun, informative and enlightening book!! Kids will love the fun and grown-ups will LOVE the history!! Wonderful book, Demetra Tsavaris-Lecourezos!!

For thirteen years, Demetra enjoyed managing an interior design showroom in New York City, but at the age of thirty, she decided she needed a more secure job with benefits. She felt fortunate to become a part of “Corporate America,” where she remained for nearly nine years. Among other things, her responsibilities at Morgan Stanleyincluded overseeing an internal mentoring program and managing the firm’s “Big Brothers Big Sisters”program. Demetra enjoys teaching children, opening their hearts and minds to the fascinating world around them. She has always loved being around children, and as a young girl, she dreamed of having five of her own, just as her mother and grandmother had. Fate had something else lined up for her.

In 2001, she bumped into her high school sweetheart, Constantinos (Gus) P. Lecourezos, on a street in Manhattan on her way to the office. For twenty-one years, they had lived separate lives, and in 2004, they were finally married. The following year, their daughter Katerina was born. In 2008, misfortune hit home. Gus was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and lost his battle in 2009. Before his passing, Gus worked with Demetra to create the initial ideas for Young World Travelers, an educational series of books.
