TABLE of CONTENTS 04 THE FIRST FLUTE Names are important. Names should be respected. They should be valued. They should be honoured. When a name is given to an adult, it is usually given based on the life that person has lived. That name is a statement about the person he or she has become. When a name is given to a child, it foretells what kind of a person that child will become.

I know this to be true because I once knew a kind man who as a child was given that name. 47 25 13 Kids FitzKids™ 04 Red Deer Press 10 Tradewind 31 31 Lee & Low 32 Tilbury 36 Adult Fitzhenry & Whiteside 40 Fifth House Publishers 42 Edge 51 Quarry 53 Kodansha 56 Index 60 18 51 Staff Directory 62 Fitzhenry & Whiteside, Fifth House Publishers and Red Deer Press acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund(CBF) for our publishing activities.
