It seems possible that Sir Frederick Banting himself would find our exploring his Homestead through a child's eyes appropriate.As Frederick Hipwell observes:
"Intensely shy, he always avoided social activity and did not ever really enjoy his fame and popularity. He was more at ease with children: he understood them and it is significant that his first real battle between death and insulin was at the Hospital for Sick Children."
