The Author

​Shelley O’Brien is an educator in southeastern Manitoba, whose spirited imagination led her to write this Easter fantasy-adventure. Her whimsical verse includes a message of celebrating individuality.

A self-described tree-huggin’, critter-lovin’, nature-groovin’ granola girl, the author lives in a field in the middle of nowhere with her husband, son, prairie chickens, and trows.


​The Illustrator

​Neil Klassen is a visual art educator and illustrator. He may look like a grown-up, but he never really got there. In secret, he is a knight, a monster slayer, and a dreamer. The illustrator is inspired by folklore, mythology, and legends, and also by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Brian Froud.
