Author Bio
Michael Arvaarluk Kusugak is an Inuit storyteller who grew up in Repulse Bay, NWT (now Naujaat, Nunavut). During his childhood, his family traveled by dog sled, living a traditional Inuit lifestyle. He is the author of many picture books, including Northern Lights: The Soccer Trails, winner of the Ruth Schwartz Award. He won the Vicky Metcalf Award for Children's Literature in 2008. Robert Munsch, author of such classics as The Paper Bag Princess and Thomas Snowsuit, is one of North Americas bestselling authors of childrens books. Vladyana Krykorka has illustrated and designed over 30 books for children. Her work has received numerous awards, including the Toronto Public Librarys recognition of Baseball Bats for Christmas as one of the 100 best childrens books of all time. In the last two years she has conducted art workshops in several Quebec Arctic communities, working with Inuit teachers in the creation of their own books and class materials, as well as textile printmaking techniques.
