“Provocative, powerful, breathtakingly beautiful.“ Kirkus Reviews (Starred)
So excited to share our first starred review for Yellow Butterfly.
https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/oleksandr-shatokhin/yellow-butterfly/
A wordless picture book portrayal of war seen through the eyes of a young girl who finds hope in the symbolism of yellow butterflies against the background of a pure blue sky. Using the colors of his national flag, Oleksandr Shatokhin has created a deeply emotional response to the conflict in Ukraine and provided a narrative full of powerful visual metaphors for readers to consider as they travel from the devastating effects of war to a place of hope for peace and the future.
A portion of the sale of this book will be donated to the Universal Reading Foundation who supply children's books to Ukraine.
