Baptiste Delvallé was born in France and grew up in a peaceful village that had everything to make him happy. But when he was 13, his parents went bankrupt and the family had to move to the big city. Traumatizing at first, that became an exciting life of traveling and moving everywhere. Delvallé lived in other parts of France, years in the US, and was an expat in Vietnam. But was he feeling home? Unsure of the answer and inspired by all his time abroad, including a year-long world tour, Delvallé decided to put down his feelings on paper. Now 29 and back in France, Delvallé writes for education blogs, including EdWeek, and regular contributions to Innov'Action Pédagogique. He also uses his short stories and travel writing in his class with his students.
