Acknowledgements

We are deeply grateful to the talented team of writers, editors, and artists who have brought this collection of children’s stories to life. Their dedication, hard work, and passion for these stories have been essential to their success, and I am deeply grateful for their contributions.

We would also like to acknowledge the real-life Canadian women who inspired these stories. Their courage, determination, and resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic have been an inspiration to us all, and it has been a privilege to be able to share their stories with a wider audience.

Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to the readers of these stories. It is our hope that these tales will inspire and empower young people to make a difference in their own communities and to be the change they wish to see in the world. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
