DANIELLE DANIEL is an award-winning author and illustrator whose journey into artmaking and book publishing has gone hand in hand with all she has learned—and continues to learn—about her Indigenous ancestry and her relationship with the land. Her picture books include Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox (Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Award), Sometimes I Feel Like a River and Once in a Blue Moon. She has also written novels for children and adults. Danielle lives on Manitoulin Island with her family. JACKIE TRAVERSE is Ojibway, from Lake St. Martin First Nation. She graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba and works as a multidisciplinary artist in oil and acrylics, mixed media, stop-motion animation and sculpture, but her happiest moments are when she is painting. She draws inspiration from her culture for her art, which often speaks to the realities of being an Indigenous woman. Her award-winning work appears in numerous private and public collections. Jackie lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
