TEEN PICK: Lisova Pisnia
Lesya Ukrainka

Strong Roots
Olia Hercules
From the word-renowned author of the cookbook, “Summer Kitchens,” comes a very personal memoir.
"Strong Roots is the story of a century in Ukraine told through four generations of one extraordinary family. It takes us from years of Russification, to Olia's grandmother's deportation to snowy wastelands under Stalin, to her aunt Zhenia's school protest, to her own parents' flight from Ukraine when their village was occupied in 2022.
This is an ode to the land, to ideas of home and belonging, and to family stories and recipes passed down the generations--the tang of sour cherries, the best way to make borsch. It is an account of resilience in the hardest of circumstances. "
Ukraine Rising
Anna Avetova (ed.)
A photographic survey of contemporary culture in Ukraine, this hardcover publication guides readers through the creative process of 70 Ukrainian artists.
This colourful gem of a book will captivate, inspire and astonish you.
Ecocide in Ukraine
Daria Tsymbalyuk
“On a single day in June 2023, the breached Kakhovka Dam flooded thousands of kilometres of protected natural habitat, as well as villages, towns, and agricultural land.
In this poignant book, Darya Tsymbalyuk offers an intimate portrait of her beloved homeland against the backdrop of Russia's war and ecocide.”
