Description

Silent Night, My Astronaut by Oksana Lushchevska is an All-Ukrainian Best Book and winner of the Goethe-Institut Best Book Design. This picture book provides a powerful and uplifting introduction to the War in Ukraine from a child's perspective.

The evening is long. It’s silent outside. We love silent. The most important thing is for the sirens not to howl.

It is a bright day in February, but seven-year-old Ia and her family are in the dark. Church bells are ringing, sirens are screaming. The War has begun. This beautiful and powerful fully-illustrated picture book diary covers the first ten days of the War in Ukraine, filled with love, hope, and faith in peace.

“...a poignant symbol of war’s effect on children.” — KIRKUS

Ten percent of proceeds will be donated to Voices of Children, a Ukrainian charitable foundation that supports families affected by the war in Ukraine.
