About the Author:

Dr. Annie Smith was an artist, author and lecturer of art history, painting and drawing at Sheridan College and an Associate Professor Adjunct at the University of Toronto, developing and coordinating the Art and Art History Program shared by these two institutions. She had a passion for the outdoors in general, and sailing and tennis in particular. Sadly, she passed away in October 2007 after her valiant battle with cancer.

Review:

The part of the patient is played in the book by a bear whose various misadventures are portrayed in the printed word and in numerous drawings. (Regina - Leader Post 2004-05-03)

It's an intimate and light-hearted tale of trial and triumph flavoured with accounts of the author's zany antics. (Homemaker's Magazine 2005-06-01)
