Metamorphosis: Stages in a Life

Susanne Day is a retired education specialist whose focus was physically
challenged, blind, and speech-impaired children.

Here is a Canadian success story. It would be hard to find a Canadian who does not recognize the name David Suzuki, and many know him well as a TV personality. This book will introduce Canadians to the real David Suzuki, the scientist and the man.

Suzuki came from a happy home which was disrupted by war as were many Canadian homes, but with a difference — his home was seen as one that sheltered the enemy. He tells of the days in the British Columbia mountain camps, the post-war move across the country to Ontario and the struggle to become “rehabilitated,” his school years as a member of a visible minority, and his later academic successes. David Suzuki has lived a very full, interesting, and successful 50 years. His story is told with honesty and candour — the highs and lows, the disappointments and successes. The book shows the lessons of the rewards of diligent study and hard work, and the stupidity of discrimination. The rich mine of talent, industry, skill, and devotion brought to Canada (or born in Canada) of our multi-racial population is gently but firmly pointed out in this very interesting autobiography by a multi-talented man.
