When best friends Sammy Squirrel and Rodney Raccoon decide to explore the world beyond Vancouver's Stanley Park, they are carried on a fantastic adventure. Swept out to sea in a little boat, the woodland creatures journey across the Pacific Ocean all the way to Japan. While their courage and ingenuity are tested at every turn, Sammy and Rodney are met by good fortune and are helped by new friends Salty Seagull, Winifred Whale and a deer called Shika. The wide-eyed travellers help resolve a crisis with the deer in Nara, Japan and by the time they return safely home, have broadened their world and gained a deeper understanding of animal and human interactions. The story of Sammy Squirrel and Rodney Raccoon, though a fictional animal adventure, addresses real-life issues about relationships between animals and people. An illustrated chapter book, and first in the Stanley Park Tales series, it promotes awareness and sensitivity to the needs of others.

Duane Lawrence is a retired high school language teacher who lives in Vancouver, Canada and enjoys regular walks in beautiful Stanley Park. It was during one leisurely stroll in the park that he decided to write a book for children about the animals that live there. His book Sammy Squirrel & Rodney Raccoon: A Stanley Park Tale was chosen as one of the top 100 recommended books by elementary school teachers in celebration of the BCTFs 100th anniversary. Duane has taught in Japan, England and Canada. He speaks English, French and Japanese.
