About the Authors

Roy Goose learned many of the legends he knows from his great-grandmother, Naimee Mammayuk, who left Alaska and came to Canada around 1910 with the Arctic explorer Vilhjalmur Steffansson. Roy passed his legends on to his children to teach them important life lessons and morals.

Kerry McCluskey is a long-term resident of Iqaluit, Nunavut and has no plans to return to southern Canada. Kerry and her son River like spending time outdoors, at the rink, and in the kitchen.

Soyeon Kim is a Toronto-based illustrator, art educator, and artist, originally from South Korea. Her work specializes in merging fine sketching and painting techniques to produce three-dimensional dioramas. Kim is a graduate of York University and has illustrated several children’s picture books, including You Are Stardust, Is This Panama?, and Wild Ideas.
