Fantasy & magical realism (Children's/YA)
Let's Hold Hands, Sister
by Oksana Lushchevska (Author), Anna Surgan (Illustrator)
Description
Ten-year-old sisters Vita and Zlata share their dreams with each other: they would like to go to the forest, swim in the river, lie in the grass, and look at the clouds. They also want to learn some spells so that peace reigns on Earth, but magic exists only in fairy tales... This kind and gentle story tells that there is something more powerful in life than spells: being close to your loved ones and holding hands with them. And imagine being friends with a funny poodle like Buka, that shows to everyone how to laugh and love! This book is a bright and honest reflection of children's confusion during one of life's harshest experiences: war. This warm play was written in the form of a dialogue to be recited. Thus the text can be read or acted out with children at home, in classes, in school theaters or theater groups. Readers can even stage a play online for relatives and friends who are not nearby!
