Yes, I have made this book on a extra-ordinary way.

These will be published as ebook on September 14. ‘Het Grote Weetjesboek over de bosmarmot’ and in French translation is it ‘Les Petits Savoirs sur la marmotte commune’. What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it? The original tittle (dutch) is ‘Het Grote Weetjesboek over de bosmarmot’ and in French translation is it ‘Les Petits Savoirs sur la marmotte commune’. The other is maybe for a bit elder children and will be a book with all the possible facts to know about the groundhog. One is a children’s story of two little girls who become friends with a groundhog. Fortunately I had good proofreaders and test readers who did not spare me their criticism. The book was born after many trials and errors, step by step. About the friendship between a solitary woodchuck and two girls. It would be a children’s book, edited with photos and an imaginary story about the journey of Lowieske and Marie to Quebec. Somehow she made clear to me that she wanted to be the main character in my first photo book. She is the heroine of the working class, she is strong and determined.Īnd finally we have Fiston, the chipmunk, or ‘suisse’ as they say in Quebec.ĭuring all these years I observed and photographed them for hours and hours, week after week.Īnd then about three years ago I saw Margot the groundhog waking up again after her wintersleep.

Philomene, a Grey Squirrel, is the lady of rank, who like walking as in Victorian times, with her tail umbrella in rain and sun, she is sure of royal blood. Small but brave, I saw one day how she, on her own, ove away four large crows from her garden (yes for her our garden really is “her” garden). Margot is the groundhog, who I saw wake up every springfor the last 8 years.Įufrazie is a small American Red Squirrel. We had many cute animals in the back yard, and for easy speaking I had given them all a first name: I was a documentair, journalist, social photographer, but once arrived in Quebec (in 2008), where I spent 4 a 5 months a year Nature there is so beautiful that my focus came on nature photograhie. So first of all I want to appologize my english is not correct. ‘Margot krijgt onverwacht bezoek’ (dutch, my mothertongue) and the french translation ‘Margot reçoit une visite inattendue’ was my very first book. Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
