The idea for "Larry the Dromedary - We Won't Desert You!" came to me while I was on a bus rambling up the Atlas mountains in Morocco. My kids were thousands of miles away and I imagined this dromedary flying all the way to Toronto to get them. The part about my kids coming to save me is actually from a deeply personal experience when I was much younger, before they were born. I had been hospitalized for depression, and as I sat in this cold room waiting for the doctor, I sensed my future children coming to help me - pulling me out of the illness. "Larry the Dromedary" focuses on humour and action but it actually contains some deeply felt themes for me.
