Alaina Kane loved Cambridge and she spent much of her otherwise conventional Canadian childhood drawing and studying elves, trolls, mermaids, centaurs, fauns, satyrs, unicorns, gnomes, sprites, goblins, people, dwarfs, animals, fairies, princesses, bugs, wizards, little people and sea serpents. Her passion for the natural world lay behind the creation of her famous story books. A particular source of inspiration was Shadeland Court, Cambridge where she lived for the last 23 years of her life as a farmer and land conservationist.
Doo, published in 2019, was her first book that she told the kids of Oakbridge School about the story of Doo. The classic tale of a little girl, Annika goes to Richard's Doo Pre-School and join Richard and Annika's friends for baking cupcakes, riding on the canoes, eating popcorns, going through the tunnel, eating lunch, playing bowling and basketball still brings to children all over the world the pleasure that it gave to its very first reader.
