This was and continues to be goal in all my writing: that children, parents and educators across Canada and around the world will find the courage within themselves to read these stories, educate themselves so that these events will never happen again. I believe that our children are our greatest teachers and through teaching our children love, compassion, courage and honesty we can change our world so that it will be a better place for everyone.
