He has worked with the UK Home Office and Scotland Yard as part of his research and has published almost as many papers on different aspects of criminology as he has children’s books.
The driving force behind Trivizas stories is the question of what could possibly happen after the classic end line “and they lived happily ever after”. He tries to imagine what would happen if the story continued. His aim is to entertain children (and more mature readers) and cultivate their imagination.
Trivizas uses symbols and allegories to talk to young children about serious issues, without traumatizing them. In this way, he also helps parents define their approach to discussing such issues with their children as well, and advocates against parents using physical violence, as you can see in this video commercial that he filmed together with The Greek Ombudsman. (In the video, he says you can hit wood, eggs, etc… but not kids).


Much of Trivizas’ work has been adapted for stage, TV and radio, whereas several of his books have been translated in more than fifteen languages.


Below you can read the summaries of three of his books.
