{"title":"Andrew Dewar","description":"Andrew Dewar was born in Toronto, Ontario and graduated from Ryerson Polytechnic Institute (B.A. Journalism) and University of Toronto (M.A. Japanese Studies, Library and Information Science) before moving to Japan in 1988. After completing his doctoral studies in library science at Keio University, he joined the faculty of a junior college in Japan. Soon after arriving in Japan he rediscovered his childhood love of designing and flying paper airplanes. His passion for paper airplanes led him to become president of the Fukushima Paper Airplane Club. Dewar has published over 30 paper crafting books and kits. He also teaches paper airplane workshops and does seminars at schools, libraries, community centers and museums. He lived and taught library science in Fukushima, Japan, until the giant earthquake and nuclear accident in March 2011, when the city became unsafe. After a brief stay in Canada, he's returned with his family to Gifu, Japan.","products":[{"product_id":"star-fleet-paper-airplanes-for-kids-paper-spaceplanes-that-really-fly-paperback","title":"Star Fleet Paper Airplanes for Kids: Paper Spaceplanes That Really Fly! - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e**Creative Child Magazine 2024 Kids Activity Book of the Year!**\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoin the Intergalactic Star Fleet!
