- Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch was born in Brantford, Ontario, to a Ukrainian-Canadian family.
In elementary school, she couldn't read, and so had to repeat the fourth grade. She had a learning disability, which was undiagnosed, and taught herself to read in the school library.
During high school, she wrote for the school newspaper. She received a B.A. with honors in English in 1978 and later a Master of Library Science degree from the University of Western Ontario. In between, she worked as an industrial sales rep. While she was studying for her master's degree, she started to explore her Ukrainian cultural background. She wrote book reviews for the Brantford Expositor for a few years before beginning to write fiction. Her debut picture book, Silver Threads, was published in 1996.
Skrypuch is the author of more than 20 books for children and young adults. Her carefully researched historical fiction and narrative nonfiction focuses on refugees and war from a young person’s perspective.
