This book is dedicated to my son Trevor, who will always have the heart of a child, so innocent and pure. He has given me loving, lasting memories of the simplicity of childhood and all it entails. Childhood should be adorned with the dressing up and pretending to be something you are not, playing with your shadow, and using your imagination in ways that only a child could orchestrate. Thank you for allowing me to experience the joys of childhood through your eyes. It was a wonderful journey.
