Demmler, Zoe

K.R. Atma and Zoe Demmler are father and daughter. Zoe is the 2014 National Champion on the Balance Beam, for her age group, in her country. As an energetic and fearless three year old, Zoe joined a Saturday morning children's gymnastics class. Her love and talent for gymnastics led to her - and her father's - dedicated involvement in gymnastics. His long interest in things that move human mind and spirit and Zoe's involvement in gymnastics inspired him to write the story of Zoe and the Beam - to which eight year old Zoe added significant passages, in the instruction part of the book.
