Mary Borsky is originally from the Peace River country in northern Alberta. She has written two books for children and has published many short stories. She has also taught across Canada – from Vancouver to Frobisher Bay – as well as in Italy and Ethiopia. Mary Borsky lives with her family in Ottawa, where they often eat perogies after a long hike, and enjoy pumpkins immensely!

Linda Hendry grew up on a farm near Nokomis, Saskatchewan. She began illustrating at an early age (the underside of her parents’ kitchen table holds testimony to this fact.) Eventually, she moved on to more conventional materials, and filled stack upon stack of pink and yellow doodle pads with drawings of make-believe families and their life stories.
