This story is proof that despite colonization, our world is full of Indigenous art, beauty, love, and brilliance. Through the eyes of a mother, readers gain insight into the profound bonds of family and community that are central to Indigenous life. This heartwarming and empowering story is a celebration of Indigenous love and the powerful legacy that it creates.

    Feb 11 2025

    Kevin's Life is the first book written and illustrated by Piper Lee Frech. The idea of writing, let alone illustrating, a children's book was not something Piper ever dreamt of doing, so the fact that the book exists is a surprise to her.

Not surprisingly, her children share her love of living things. She was deeply moved by the way her family rallied together for the life of a tiny helpless squirrel and is sharing the story to raise awareness and confidence in families everywhere.

    Piper is an experienced leader with a demonstrated history of working in the steel, automotive, and wines and spirits industries. She is a professional with proven skill in Team Building, Process Improvement, Pension Administration, Human Resources, Financial Accounting and Reporting (IFRS, US GAAP, Canadian GAAP), Transfer Pricing, Profitability Analysis, Cost Accounting and Forecasting.
