Tanya lives in Kryvyi Rih an industrial town in Dnipropetrovsk region in the south east of Ukraine. In of itself this had no particular bearing on the book. But that changed from February 24th. Since the invasion of Ukraine there has been a huge deterioration in safety and security of its citizens. Contact with Tanya has been sporadic, and while she and her family (her son is at uni in Lviv, and she, her husband and six cats are in Kryvyi Rih) are currently relatively safe, her town is right on the front line. Their world has been totally upended and her circumstances could change at any moment.
I give a portion of the sale of these books to children’s charity (UNICEF’s Ukraine Emergency Appeal) but should you choose to buy a book, I prefer if it is for the obvious artistic, educational and entertainment merit. If such literature is not of interest to you, you can always donate directly to UNICEF 's appeal instead.
