MARY TANGUAY WAS BORN IN COUNTY TYRONE, Ireland. She drew on her teaching experience to write the story of Kiyask, a story of a young Cree boy who is asked by his teacher to care for an injured seagull found in the schoolyard. The adventure is a learning experience for the boy, his family, his classmates and their teacher.

Tim Yearington

Illustrator

Tim Yearington is an explorer at heart. Growing up in Northern Ontario, rich forests were always nearby for him to discover. Mother Earth became an important teacher for him and inspired him to draw. After excelling in art in high school, Tim graduated from the illustration program at Sheridan College and moved to Ottawa to start his career. Wilderness and wild animals have always been his passion. Now a freelance illustrator, artist and writer Tim strives to capture the Spirit of Nature in his all of his work, “Learn to see what your eyes cannot see. Learn to see with your heart—and believe it.” When Tim journeys into the forest, he carries his sketchbook and pencils in an old green pack; the same one he used as a boy.
