Show Notes

It is 1950 and five-year-old Anna makes the long journey by ship from the Netherlands to Canada. We talk to author Julia Sinke and illustrator Abigayle Sinke about their children’s book that tells the emotion-filled story of a young girl’s immigration from her cozy Dutch house to a ramshackle wooden structure in the beet fields of Southern Alberta. https://booksbyjuliasinke.com/ https://www.dutchthemedia.com/
