Kelly Dupre wanted to share with readers the details of her husband's rare, unlikely encounter with a raven and how it affected his arduous, seemingly impossible journey. She and her husband make their home in Grand Marais, Minnesota, where she is a part-time teacher, as well as a writer and an artist. She has made three trips to Greenland, exploring its west and east coasts and its far northern shores. This is her first book for children.
