The Dutch pocketbook version of The Occupied Garden was recently
released in the Netherlands by Artemis
& Co., under the title De Kinderen van de Tuinder, which
means "the children of the gardener." Visit the Dutch-language site here.
Below is a photograph from the book launch for the Canadian version
of The Occupied Garden in Deep River, Ontario, the authors' hometown
and the current residence of Tracy Kasaboski. Tracy and Kristen signed
copies of the book, as expected, but so did the "characters" in attendance.
Rige and Nick, eldest and youngest in The Occupied Garden, came
from Holland for the launch; middle brothers Rokus and Gerry came from
the United States and Canada; and Koos -- Jim, the authors' father --
traveled all the way from Borneo. On the table of books sit two beautiful
photo collages, handmade for Tracy and Kristen by their sister, Heidi,
whose work is featured here.
