About the Author
Robert Barlow Fox served in the Navy in the Pacific and the Army in Europe. He was also a missionary for three years among the Maori people of New Zealand. He earned Bachelor and Masters degrees and did other graduate studies at the University of Utah and Utah State University and is now a retired educator. He is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and has published short stories, articles, poetry, and essays in many magazines and journals. He also won three Freedom's Foundation Awards. One, an essay on Abraham Lincoln, was read into the Congressional Record by then Senator Wallace F. Bennet of Utah. Once when Robert and his wife were traveling in Kenya and Tanzania, they met a small Masai boy who wanted to 'practice his English.' Fox saw the beginning of a story, and, like many writers, he asked the questions: 'What if?' This mystical book is the result. Robert Fox is also the author of To Be A Warrior, Inherited Family, and The Seeker, all from Sunstone Press.
