About the Author

KYLE PENNER, the author, is the son-in-law to the illustrator, Patti Enns. He loves to tell canoeing stories almost as much as he actually loves canoeing. As a child, he started solo-paddling around Star Lake at the family cottage, but has since expanded his paddling destinations. His favourite places to canoe are the Whiteshell Provincial Park and the Kasakeemeemisikak Islands, and his favourite people to paddle with are his wife, Ashley, and his kids, Arianna, Zachary, and Milo. He currently lives in Steinbach, Manitoba, and wishes his ancestors hadn't turned the original creek that ran through town into a drainage ditch.

PATTI ENNS, the illustrator, is the mother-in law to the author, Kyle Penner. Patti is a retired school teacher who discovered her love of drawing when she unexpectedly found herself having to teach an art class. When not keeping up with the kids and grandkids, she finds time every day to draw parts of her ordinary life. And whenever she goes somewhere, these drawings include a detailed map! She currently lives in Rennie, Manitoba, just outside the Whiteshell Provincial Park.
