Author, illustrator, and graphic designer Per-Henrik Gürth was born in Freiburg, Germany, and now calls Kingston, Ontario, home. His bold and lively illustrations can be found in the bestselling "Canada Concept Books" from Kids Can Press, including Oh! Canada and ABC of Canada, which was a Canadian Children's Book Centre "Our Choice" selection. In When Wishes Come True, Per creates soft scenes filled with texture and light to complement the heartwarming story inspired by his daughter, Emily, who was Per's own wish come true.
