The artwork in this book was created by animation director-artist Willie Ito from his vast portfolio of original and limited-edition works of art.
The inspiration for this book came from Shigeru Yabou and his family's experiences as Japanese-American internees at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center in Wyoming from 1942 to the end of World War II. During that time, he made friends with a magpie whom he named Maggie.
The original artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
