Review Quotes
Amazon Reviews:
"This is a highly accessible and historically accurate survey of Ukrainian history for kids, delving back into ancient times and drawing parallels and connections with the current war. Nicely drawn pencil illustrations add to the visual appeal." by Marsha J. Skrypuch, Author of Winterkill
"In this heartrending and moving account of Ukrainian history, we get to be the proverbial fly on the wall in an American elementary school classroom as they learn of the struggles and pride of this great nation. Told from the point of view of the teacher, the history lesson is interspersed with student interruptions, distractions, and questions-much like a real classroom!" by Read More Books
"Through sharing real-life experiences in the classroom the author not only conveys the current suffering of Ukrainian families but invites the reader into a world full of history and culture that will surprise all ages. Informative, playful, and engaging this book is timeless and timely. It even had coloring pages!" Tony M. Daniels
