The author offers his special thanks to editor Amy Collins for patiently refining and polishing the story, to Greg Spence for advising on usage of Moose Factory Cree (or the L dialect), to Joanne Findon and Orm Mitchell, who taught the writing classes at Trent U where it all began, to a wonderful network of friends and family who helped guide the story and its route to publication, and to Darlene Gait, for capturing such magic in her incredible illustrations.
