McCreath wrote and researched Renaldo over seven years, resulting in the first hardcopy edition in 1997. He then took it around to exhibitions in Toronto, Chicago, and Frankfurt. In 2006, when the World Cup of Soccer was taking place, McCreath brought Renaldo out again with the intention of having it published through BookSurge Publications. It’s now available worldwide here.

Q: Is Renaldo about the Brazilian soccer player, Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima?

A: No. Renaldo was begun many years before Ronaldo rose to fame.
