A must-read diary for children, teens, and whoever has forgotten, or misunderstood what has been happening in Ukraine since 24 February 2022!
12-year-old Yeva had just celebrated her birthday when the Russian troops invaded Ukraine and her peaceful, happy life in Kharkiv changed forever. Her diary reports the impact of the invasion on her, her family's and friends' lives. It is also a travel book in a way...
I read Zlata Filipović's Diary about the war in Sarajevo in the early 1990s. I was a child and her diary is the only memory I have of that war. I remember Zlata's diary shocked me. I can't say the same about Yeva's, almost one year since the beginning of the Russian invasion, as I have already seen, and read, so much about it. But Yeva's point of view gives hope and faith in a brighter, war-free, future.
Read this book, and give it to your friends and family!
