Biography
My wife and I met working at Disney World and came up with the idea for our books after backpacking around Australia, Japan and Malaysia. After returning to Canada, we realized we had seen all of these other countries, but hardly any of Canada. We decided to create a picture book that would introduce kids and their parents to the beauty of Canada. The books are unique in that they utilize digital photography with stuffed animals in actual locations to illustrate the story.
