Matteo Zappone
Educator, storyteller, and lifelong lover of the ocean. Living in Montréal, he is deeply drawn to the emotional, spiritual, and healing presence of the sea.
Behind The Book
Beyond the Horizon was written with the knowledge
that meaningful change begins with emotional connection. By fostering empathy, wonder, and reflection, he hopes readers will feel more inclined to protect what they come to love.
Life as a teacher
Matteo is passionate about creating spaces for conversations that are not always embedded in the curriculum. Conversations about identity, care, responsibility, grief, hope, and our relationship with the natural world. His work is guided by a desire to bond with others through storytelling and to inspire the next generation of changemakers to lead with curiosity and compassion.
When he is not teaching he is writing
Matteo can often be found daydreaming about the ocean, journaling, or imagining new ways to bring nature, storytelling, and education together. If this book resonated with you, Matteo would love to hear from you.
