        The Holiday I Had to Take

        by Kateryna Yehorushkina (Author), Sonia Avdieieva (Illustrator)

        When the holidays draw near, schoolchildren begin to think about rest and travel. Sadly, this time, Vira's (Faith) holidays will be different due to the war. She, along with her parents and younger brother, has to move to the basement floor of their apartment building to hide from the bombardments. The family members do all they can to adapt to this new reality: they melt snow when they run out of water, try to warm themselves up by singing when they run out of heating, and reassure themselves that all the people close to them are safe when they cannot hear from them. The usual way of life seems like a distant memory, surviving perhaps only in our imagination or in computer games. Yet, even in these activities, and in supporting our loved ones, we can learn how to find a light inside that no missile will ever be able to reach. The Holiday I Had to Take is not only the moving story of Vira; readers of Kateryna Yehorushkina's book will also find advice and soothing practices from psychologist Svitlana Royz to support everyone finding themselves in difficult times   From 3 to 8 years, 2138 words.

        Bridges Instead of Walls, or What Unites Ukrainians?

        by Tetiana Teren

        In this collection of essays, twenty Ukrainian intellectuals reflect on the phenomenon of social bridges and walls. Why do they both exist? Do bridges always bring understanding? Or do they perhaps sometimes allow crossing boundaries? Do walls necessarily separate? Or do they occasionally protect? With whom and how should we build bridges, and from whom shall we isolate by walls? The result of the media project of the Ukrainian branch of the International PEN Club, published in the New Time publication, is now under one cover. On the pages of the book, you will find essays by the following authors: Kateryna Kalytko, Kateryna Botanova, Vakhtang Kebuladze, Zoya Kazanzhy, Ostap Slyvinskyi, Olena Stiazhkina, Larysa Denysenko, Myroslava Barchuk, Viktoriya Amelina, Vitaliy Ponomariov, Vasyl Makhno, Volodymyr Rafeenko, Mykola Riabchuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Svitlana Pyrkalo, Borys Gudziak, Ihor Isichenko, Halyna Vdovychenko, Pavlo Kazarin, Vitaliy Portnykov. Compiled by Tetiana Teren. Foreword by Andriy Kurkov.

        Testfall Ukraine

        Europa und seine Werte

        by Katharina Raabe, Manfred Sapper

        Der Krieg in der Ostukraine ist ein Krieg im Zentrum Europas. Das wurde spätestens klar, als über dem Kampfgebiet eine zivile Verkehrsmaschine abgeschossen wurde. Über 300 Menschen, die meisten aus den Niederlanden, kamen ums Leben. Doch nichts geschah, was die Gewalt und den rasanten Zerfall von Zivilität bis hin zum Sterben der Millionenstädte Donezk und Luhansk hätte stoppen können. Die Ereignisse, die der Maidan-Revolution in Kiew folgten, von der Krim-Annexion bis zur Invasion russischer Truppen in Nowoasowsk, haben binnen weniger Monate die Grundlagen der europäische Nachkriegsordnung erschüttert: territoriale Integrität, Souveränität, Sicherheit, Frieden scheinen außer Kraft gesetzt. Russland und der Westen stehen sich wieder feindlich gegenüber. Wie konnte es dazu kommen? Und was bedeutet das für das künftige Zusammenleben in Europa? Schriftsteller und Publizisten suchen nach Antworten. Mit Beiträgen von Alice Bota, Andreas Kappeler, Kateryna Mishchenko, Herfried Münkler, Serhij Zhadan u.a.

        My Grandfather Was the Best Dancer

        by Kateryna Babkina

        “My Grandfather Was the Best Dancer” is a series of short stories following the family histories of five protagonists who met on their first day of school in the first year of Ukraine’s independence and became lifelong friends. These family histories take the reader through the events of the 1920s in Kharkiv, the repression of the Les Kurbas Theater during the Great Terror, the Holodomor (the man-made genocidal famine of 1932–33), World War II, the 1990s, several waves of emigration and the war in Donbas. First and foremost, this is a book about accepting the past. It describes how events and circumstances affect us, whether consciously or unconsciously. It addresses continuity and ties between generations, yearning for love and acceptance, and loneliness as the product of or reason behind our choices. It deals with losses both conscious and unconscious, justified and pointless. Most importantly, it stresses that no matter how lonely, outcast or broken you feel, you can survive and live because, notwithstanding, there is always a chance to attain happiness at last.

        What Grows in the Park

        by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna

        This is a little story about big things like growing up in a community, appreciating similarities and differences in people around us, and discovering one's own identity in order to be happy. But it is also about learning how to recognize trees in a park and know them by their leaves, fruits and flowers — a little bit of eco-education conveyed in a very playful, fairy-tale manner. A sprout grows in a park and looks attentively at the trees around it — the birch, oak, maple, sycamore, chesnut, poplar tree, willow, and ginkgo — trying to discern its own identity by comparing itself to them, getting to know who is who, and figuring out whom it resembles. Because “happiness is having someone like you as a friend”.

        Order of the Silent Women

        by Kateryna Kalytko

        A portrait of a Ukrainian woman more often shows her being silent than speaking. However, without this silence there would be no voice that sounds in this collection. The voice that defends the right to speak sincerely about acute grief, generational traumas, the courage of love, and disappointment with emptiness behind masks. Since speaking out is the only way to remain oneself and to be the voice of hundreds speechless sisters.

        Happy Naked People

        by Kateryna Babkina

        "Happy Naked People" is a thematically united cycle of stories about happiness or rather about what precedes happiness. These are stories about the generation of Ukrainians who had a chance to see the last days of the Soviet Union and the recession that followed it, about those who grew up and became the strogest versions of themselves, in spite of everything that happened to them. It is about how these people live now and interact with the world, in which there is war, and love, and emigration, and Hanoi, and New York, and the dead, and the living, and the blind, and the unwise; and, most importantly, how to be happy with this all.

        Reactors Do Not Explode. A Brief History of the Chornobyl Disaster

        by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna, Stanislav Dvornytskyi

        Chornobyl is not only a city or a nuclear power plant but also an Exclusion Zone, a tragedy and a symbol. This book aims to explain the tragic events to people who were born after it happened, so that “Chornobyl” is not only a word by which Ukraine is recognized but also a historical experience worth acknowledging. The event is shown in the book through several dimensions: technical, emotional, natural, and political. The authors are using both verbal and visual communication to tell the story of a large-scale tragedy in a simple way, yet still able to provoke emotions. The book brings up the topics of responsibility and the cost of human life; “the right to know”; heroics; totalitarian regimes; ecology.

        Who Grows in the Garden

        by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna (Author), Oksana Bula (Illustrator)

        The nightingale has returned from distant Africa and is looking for a spot to build its nest. And there are so many trees and bushes in the garden to chose from! Which of them would make a good home for a bird? Maybe a sour cherry tree, or a sweet cherry tree... or perhaps even a cherry plum tree? And what about a plum, or a pear tree? Each tree tells its story to the nightingale, describing its own special traits. What emerges from the stories of the trees is the image of the old gardener, clever and kind, who treats the trees as living creatures, talks to them and cherishes them greatly, along with his family, still living in the nearby house, honoring the trees and collecting their fruit.     From 3 to 6 years,  2515 words Rightsholders: ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua
