“A well-illustrated tale . . . Wall details the complex transplant process in a straightforward manner that children will find easy to understand.” - Kirkus Reviews
Dr. Bill Wall is a retired transplant surgeon. He was the surgical member of a team that developed the curriculum "One Life...Many Gifts" to educate high school students about the nature and importance of organ donation and transplantation. He believes that young children can also understand the essence of this subject. That is why he wrote "the ant who needed a transplant". Dr. Wall lives in London, Ontario with his wife, Diane.
