Autorenporträt
Deanne Burch was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and attended the University of Toronto, with a B.A. in both liberal arts and social work. She also lived eight years in Winnipeg where her husband was a professor of anthropology. Currently, she calls Harrisburg Pennsylvania home, though she spent many of her early years traveling and periodically living above the Arctic Circle while raising a family in the late 1960s. Recalling a ten-month visit to Kotzebue, Alaska, in the land of the midnight sun and Northern Lights, Deanne found inspiration for her first children’s picture book.
