ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many thanks to Bob Saxton, who initially got the project off the ground. To Kelly Thompson, the managing editor who paid meticulous attention to detail, while keeping always warm-hearted and cheerful; and to Tania Ahsan who also cheerfully worked on the editing. To Luana Gobbo, the graphic designer, who made a lovely design of the book. To Jules Selmes, the photographer, and his assistant Adam, both of whom worked hard to get those beautiful shots of the model. And to the model herself, Tess Dimas (MOT), who looked naturally calm and serene. And finally, a big thank you to the Christiane Beauregard, the illustrator who contributed the beautiful and colourful illustrations to the book.
