Leslie A. Davidson a toujours écrit, mais ce n’est qu’à la retraite qu’elle a enfin trouvé le temps de mettre sur papier les histoires qui lui trottaient dans la tête toutes ces années où elle enseignait et élevait ses enfants. Ses histoires traitent de ce qui compte le plus pour elle : la famille, l’amitié et la nature. Cet album lui a été inspiré par la passion de son mari pour le canot. Il rêvait d’aller explorer lacs et rivières aux eaux limpides avec ses petits-enfants, mais il n’a pas vécu assez longtemps pour le faire. Leslie vit à Revelstoke, en Colombie-Britannique.
