Description

Age range 4 to 8 A wordless picture book portrayal of war seen through the eyes of a young girl who finds hope in the symbolism of yellow butterflies against the background of a pure blue sky. Using the colours of his national flag, Oleksandr Shatokhin has created a deeply emotional response to the conflict in Ukraine and provided a narrative full of powerful visual metaphors for readers to consider as they travel from the devastating effects of war to a place of hope for peace and the future.  A portion of the sale of this book will be donated to the Universal Reading Foundation who supply children's books to Ukraine.  Back matter includes notes on sharing a wordless picture book and how to talk to children about war.  'Provocative, powerful, breathtakingly beautiful.' — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

After two months apart the family was reunited in Western Ukraine and are living together in the city of Lviv, close to the Polish border.
