Chris Evans

Chris Evans is a Canadian writer and freelance educator who grew up in eastern Scarborough, Ontario on the Highland Creek valley. He is also a musician and songwriter, with a prolific music catalogue of well-loved original kids and adult songs.

Chris enjoyed a successful 3-decade career as a musical guest artist in hundreds of schools across southern Ontario, singing and writing songs with classes from Kindergarten to Grade 12. He also worked as program coordinator at the Rouge Valley Conservation Centre, designing engaging interactive programs, sharing his original songs, and leading classes of kids and adults on hikes to explore the beauty and wonder of nature.

His extensive travels around the world inspired an on-going interest in world music, culture and cuisine. An unforgettable journey through Egypt was the catalyst for this debut novel - The Dream Whistle.- It is the first book in a planned series of stories, set in locations like England, Europe, Indonesia and Canada. They will all feature the exciting adventures of the vibrant young Canadian girl Izzy.
