Elaine Kachala is the award-winning author of Superpower? The Wearable-Tech Revolution. With over 20 years as a health policy writer and advisor, degrees in psychology and sociology (University of Toronto), and a master’s degree in environmental studies (York University), Elaine brings a unique perspective to STEAM topics. She hopes to write books that inspire young readers to embrace their curiosity and creativity as they learn about real-life inventors who are unafraid to dream big while thinking critically about health, social and ethical issues. Housing for health and well-being is her passion, both personally and professionally. She lives with her family in Toronto.

Catherine Chan is a Toronto-based illustrator with a previous life in project management and technology. Her work explores her relationships as an immigrant, a mother and a lifelong learner, and acts as both self-exploration and self-declaration. She is excited about telling unique and inspiring stories through her illustrations.

“This is a true STEAM offering with components devoted to scientific and engineering breakthroughs, creative green architecture and landscaping, kids’ definitions of what home means expressed through original poems. Two overarching themes resonate throughout: first, that housing is a universal right, and second, that there is hope.”
