Storyteller Skye: Teachings from My Ojibway Grandfather

Lindsay King is an Ojibway storyteller and teacher. She holds an ECE diploma, a bachelor's degree in Education, and a qualification in Special Education. Her knowledge and passion for natural medicines has now led her to also pursue nursing. As a student, Lindsay loved books and storytelling. Her most cherished memories from school were visits from Elders in the community sitting down with her and sharing stories. She's grateful for the privilege to now share stories with her daughter and her students. Lindsay is a member of and resides on Pikangikum First Nation in Northern Ontario, Canada.

Carolyn Frank was born in Montreal and grew up in Ottawa. She attended the University of Ottawa to study Fine Arts, with a focus on painting and drawing, where she realized she very much preferred illustration to traditional art. She primarily uses watercolour, ink, and pencil crayon in her illustrations, but also has a variety of work in acrylic and gouache. Carolyn tries to capture the light-heartedness of childhood in her illustrations; that the world is colourful, interesting, and friendly if you go out with an open heart. She dislikes chocolate cake and loves cold chocolate chip cookies.
