Deborah Duncan is the author of If You Could Have a Super Power and It's Time for Tricks! Seven African Tales. She worked as a children's librarian for thirty-five years, and these days she loves sharing books with her granddaughter. She lives in Langley, British Columbia.
Joyce Evans worked as Program Assistant at Coquitlam Public Library for over 20 years. A natural born story teller, she and Deborah created story times for babies and young children, told stories and introduced book to older children, performed puppet shows and had a lot of fun together both at and outside work. They imagined the story of The Stumpies while walking through the woods in Belcarra when Deborah's children and Joyce's grandchildren were young. Joyce did the original art work for their story. Her original work was not formatted for publication, so FriesenPress artist Aletha Heyman transformed Joyce's original work into this book.
