A post-secondary student and now author has published a children’s book on Indigenous culture and teachings that is now available for purchase. Phoenix R. Thomas recently wrote, illustrated and published the book, The Adventures of Lily and Mini: Did You Know? Animal Edition!. Thomas resides in The Pas and attends UCN. The idea for the book came from Thomas’ desire to want to write one, which also then turned into a class project.
“My parents are Jack and Cynthia Thomas,” said Thomas. “We didn’t originate here in The Pas; we moved here when I was nine years old and have lived here ever since. I’m 28 years old, a mother of two children with my partner.
“This was my first time writing a book. I’m currently enrolled at UCN as a second-year business student. This was a project for one of the courses I’m taking called Entrepreneurial Development.”
