About the Author

As an anti-bullying advocate, Stephen has interviewed children and adults who were victims of bullying on his talk show "Tako Talk". He's interviewed therapists, sports celebrities and even former bullies, to find ways to help people overcome the negative impact of being bullied. This led to the desire to reach out to children to help them fight the current epidemic of bullying. "The strong desire to save children from committing suicide has grown tremendously within me and I developed Junga to teach children about courage, acceptance and love. I too was a target of bullies and wrote about it in my book "Motivated to Act" (pub. Enchanted Forest Press 2012) in the chapter "A Damaged Child", said Tako. Children in the USA, Ireland and Scotland have enjoyed his live readings of how Junga overcame the discrimination he and his grandmother received in the first book. The second book introduces a human girl who becomes Junga's close friend and together they find a way to end being targets of a local bully.
