      Bison Looks for a Nest

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

      Once upon a time a bison met a bear. Winter was coming and he asked the bear where he could get food since everything was covered with snow. The bear answered that he didn’t eat in the winter. Instead he usually went into a deep sleep. Every year at the same time the Tukonis, the magical forest inhabitants, would put him to sleep in a den and wake him up at springtime. The bison was amazed. He had never slept all though the winter and couldn’t even imagine that other animals did. How wonderful it would be to sleep in a cozy nest rather than roam around in the snow searching for food! The bison decided that the Tukonis should put him to bed as well.

    • Malevich and you

      Find the power of the "Black Square"!

      by Sadovenko Oksana

      “Malevich and You” is a doodle book with creative tasks, stickers and pages to color, which allows a 5-to-13-year-old to imagine herself/himself being Kazemir Malevich’s student. Each spread is dedicated to one of the major ideas of the artist and encourages a child to create their own version of the Black Square, Suprematist Composition, the project of houses of the future as well as discover primary elements, objectlessness and understand Malevich’s characters through coloring the latter in their own way. The doodle book does not seek to give comprehensive answers to children. Rather, we would like it to become a guide on the way to art.

      The Wormwood. Selected essays

      by Oksana Zabuzhko

      This volume contains the most important essays by Oksana Zabuzhko written in the last two decades, devoted to figures and events that the author considers culturally significant for today's era of the crisis of humanism. "Feminine", "masculine" and "collective", all these "portraits" are united by the author's deeply personal experience of ongoing history in which she inscribes her characters — and thus reveals in it what, at least, seems to be catastrophic, a previously invisible life-affirming meaning.
