Tyren Scott Thomas was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He is a classically trained stage actor who trained at Louisiana State University, as well as being an experienced and caring teacher. He went to Poland to teach English through drama, and then started an English language theatre in Prague, Czech Republic. He became interested in teaching after he came off of tour with the National Theatre for Children. He then began teaching preschool, and fell in love with teaching. As a teacher, he realized the need for this special kind of book. Recognizing the need for a children's story book that can be easily read and shared with children, he developed this unique series of children's books aptly named "readables". Tyren has just returned to the U.S. after teaching special needs children in Ghana, West Africa for two years. He is now back in his home town to promote his specially designed storybooks for children, parents, and teachers.
