A MESSAGE FROM ELLIOTT’S PARENTS

This book originated as part of the Marguerite-Bourgeoys School Board’s program for Gifted and

Talented Students. After taking a series of classes in paleontology, Elliott, who was eight years old,

decided to write a guide to share his newfound knowledge and his passion for dinosaurs. While work-

ing on this project he had the opportunity to collaborate with Christine Cade, a graphic designer who

shared her love of paleontology with Elliott. We’re very proud of Elliott’s work, but even more proud

of the motivation and determination that he showed throughout this adventure.

A MESSAGE FROM CHRISTINE CADE

Elliott Seah, with Hans Larsson, paleontologist, and Christine Cade

Paleontology has always fascinated me. Although I ended up

choosing another career, I never lost my passion for the

subject. In 2014, I wanted to share my knowledge of pa-

leontology and, as luck would have it, Elliott and I were

introduced.

Over the course of many months, I came to know

Elliott as a boy with a lively mind and infinite curiosity.

Through hard work and dedication, he came to be re-

markably knowledgeable about the subject. Elliott, hang

on to those strengths! Who knows? Maybe they will lead

you to discover the Seahsaurus!
