As a young Doukhobor girl growing up in Slocan Park, Natalie Voykin was made aware of her people's past. It was, after

all, essential to know where you have come from, in order to know where you are going.

She and her friends of similar age were the third and fourth gen- erations of Doukhobors since the Buming of Weapons, which will

Voykin, now 58, tells the story again, although this time the account has been customized for a much younger audience in her book. A Gift of Peace

“When we started planning the centennial celebrations, my idea was that we cannot forget about the children,” said Voykin

So, with a plan in mind, Voykin recounted the event, thinking of her paternal and maternal grandmothers all the while, since both were among the Doukhobor exiles.

Illustrated by 30-year-old Harold Rezansoff, who attended Mt. Sentinel School with Voykin’s daughter, the book is a colorful account of how and why the Doukhobor people came to Canada. Rezansoff used his tal- ents in the watercolor to

appreciated by young readers, since they will readily identify with them.

“He is certainly a talented young man,” said Voykin of her counterpart.

Printed by Wayside Press in Vernon, Voykin published the 30- page book herself, using her own resources.

It was a gamble that promises to pay off. Already the response to A Gift of Peace has been fan- tastic. Grandparents, parents, teachers and other professionals have expressed interest in the book as a learning tool. Not only to learn about history, but about choices.

“This generation needs to know there is another way of thinking. They need to know that
