Pam Schweitzer

AMY GRAVES (daughter) and PAM SCHWEITZER (mother) are a mother-daughter author team who come from a long line of Grand Canyon hikers.

Amy’s first trip in the Grand Canyon was when she was 3 years old. Amy has positive memories of hiking as a child and has now taken her own children to the bottom of the canyon.

Pam grew up hiking with her parents and siblings on many of the Grand Canyon trails. She and her husband, Paul, have organized several Grand Canyon hikes for family and friends.

MCKENZIE ROBINSON, the illustrator, and Amy have been best friends since elementary school days. McKenzie has always been a talented artist. Collaborating on a book has been their dream—and this is their first one.
