In a series of four Aboriginal stories published in the late 1960s and early 1970s by Oxford University Press Canada, William Toye, the influential editor at the Press, and Elizabeth Cleaver, artist and illustrator, worked together to create the first full-colour picturebooks with identifiable Canadian themes and images.
