Jeffrey Bensam

Jeffrey Bensam is an author and storyteller who creates (and lives) hands-on, multicultural adventures. Through his non-fiction and historical fiction books, he crafts interactive history-focused journeys that add personal relevance to important moments and people that shape our world. After Jeffrey failed to become the “Bagel King of Bangladesh,” he graduated from Dartmouth College, University of California, Berkeley, and UCLA and spent the first two decades of his career helping international publishers bring their products and content to audiences across the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to his award-winning middle-grade novel, Finish the Story: Harriet Tubman's Secret Raid, Jeffrey has produced more than 50 programs covering history, world cultures, and STEAM topics for children from ages 5 to 15. He lives with his wife and son in Washington, D.C.
