Mika’s Fortune

Faith Emiry was born and raised in rural Northern Ontario where her family operates a dairy farm and a strawberry patch.  Her interests include social justice, photography, dodgeball, public speaking, and travel. Faith has been writing stories for her younger sister for a number of years.  Her stories are most often lively, funny adventures based on everyday life.  Mika’s Fortune was inspired by Faith’s annoyance in finding disappointing fortunes inside fortune cookies. When she is not reading or writing, Faith can be found at 4H events or spending time with her beloved cousin, Shasta, to whom this book is dedicated.

Ivy Wong founded Ripple Foundation. She launched Kids Write 4 Kids creative challenge in 2012 as a not-for-profit initiative. Drawing on her design skills and creativity, she illustrated and designed each book cover during the program’s early years. As Kids Write 4 Kids established its presence, Ivy sought out talented illustrators who shared her mission. These artists generously donated their time, collaborating with her to bring a fresh perspective to the artistic aspects of the project.

Today, Ivy works with talented illustrators to design each book covers. Their collective effort ensures that the book covers remain visually appealing and accurate to the Ripple Foundation’s philanthropic mission.
