Kenneth Davidson is a curriculum writer for the Nova Scotia Department of Education, Acadia University, and Nova Scotia Community College. Ken has decades of teaching experience at all grade levels in both Nova Scotia and Manitoba. He has also taught for many years at the university and college level. His pedagogical methods have been widely accepted and refined over the years to culminate, through the writing of The Elf Child, in a desire to appeal to the beautiful minds of young children. About the Illustrator Donna Moore has had a longstanding passion for the arts in its many forms of expression. Over the years this passion has evolved into wonderful canvas paintings. When approached to illustrate The Elf Child, Donna was quite intrigued and in little time envisioned a layout of drawings that more than adequately conveys the essence and meaning of the beautiful lyrics (her words).
