THE GATHERING TREE
written by Larry Loyie with Constance Brissenden
Published by Theytus Books in 2005, Heather illustrated the gently told story of a First Nations family facing the issue of HIV while finding reconciliation with First Nation traditions and teachings. Creating visual identity for the characters through the medium of acrylic paint, Heather was offered the opportunity to impact the significance of the storyline with deep hues of bold colour and stark design. Chosen for presentation at 2006 AIDS International Conference, Toronto. Winner of Moonbeam Children’s Book Award (USA), Silver Medal, Health Category 2012.
