About the authors Suzie Chiodo grew up in England and moved to Canada in February 2005. Her first home was very near the Living Rock, and she began volunteering at the Breakfast Program a few months after immigrating. Not long afterwards, she joined the Rock staff. As an experienced journalist who has been published in British national newspapers and writes weekly articles for the Hamilton Spectator, Suzie has also written the Rock's quarterly newsletter and, of course, this book. She has worked in the Breakfast Program and Rock Resources and continues to be involved with the Rock. She would like to thank the youth for inspiring her, making her laugh and eating her cookies. Al Craig was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1957 and moved to Canada when he was 10. He became a Christian at the age of 21, and met his wife Karen seven years later.
