About Author and Illustrator: Bruce Lindsay was in the second grade when he wrote his first Christmas story for the Plymouth School News. His pursuit of writing led to a career in journalism as an Emmy Award–winning broadcaster. Decades of presenting current events to large television audiences never brought him more satisfaction than reading Christmas stories aloud to his children did. Bruce received a BA from Brigham Young University and an MBA from the University of Utah. His favorite places to write are on a ship or on a train or in the shade on a back porch.

Dan Burr is an award-winning illustrator. He started his career working in oils on canvas or panels but has since achieved the same texture, realism, and attention to detail using digital painting processes. He earned a master’s degree in illustration from Syracuse University. When he is not working on a project
or fishing, he can usually be found puttering around his home in Idaho with his wife or in his boat shed working on one of his wooden drift boats.
