"One of [Studio D's] earliest successes was Beverly Shaffer's Academy-Award-winning short I'll Find a Way (1977). This moving story of a young girl's struggle with the neurological disorder spina bifida was one of a ten-part series, The Children of Canada, all directed by Shaffer."
-- Jack C. Ellis, Betsy A. McLane
