Autorenporträt

About the Author Megan Kiyoko Wray (she/her) is a queer, mixed-race Yonsei writer whose work explores the lasting impacts of dispossession and displacement on the Japanese Canadian community. Raised and based on Treaty 1 Territory, she descends from the Koga and Kojima families-strawberry farmers from Haney, BC, and sawmill labourers from Royston, BC-who were uprooted to Sanford, MB, and Tashme internment camp, respectively. Megan organizes Mata Ashita: An Intergenerational Writing Circle for Japanese Canadians, co-created Rini's Hopeful Harvest: A Story of Japanese Canadians in Manitoba, and is working on a poetry collection inspired by her family's forced movements across Canada. Through her research, she discovered her great-grandfather's role in building the Maple Ridge Buddhist Temple, the original home of the Manitoba Buddhist Temple's shrine. About the Illustrator Brynne Takeuchi Monterrosa is a Japanese-Ukrainian Canadian, born and raised in Manitoba. Her watercolour and acrylic paintings are inspired by nature, colour, and childhood creativity. A teacher by day, Brynne encourages her young students to use art for self-expression and as a way to communicate ideas. The hope is that her artwork sparks kindness and connections as it is shared with others. Learn more about the Manitoba Buddhist Temple at www.manitobabuddhistchurch.org.
