An All-Ukrainian Best Book and winner of Goethe-Institut Best Book Design, this picture book is 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 7 year-old Ia and her family are in the dark. Church bells are ringing, sirens are screaming. The War has begun. A beautiful and powerful fully-illustrated picture book diary of the first ten days of the War in Ukraine that is full of love, hope and faith in peace.

“ …a poignant symbol of war’s effect on children.” KIRKUSTen percent of proceeds will be donated to Voices of Children, a Ukrainian charitable foundation that supports families affected by the war in Ukraine.
