Yellow Butterfly
Yellow Butterfly: A Story from Ukraine | Oleksandr Shatokhin
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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. Back matter includes notes on sharing a wordless picture book and how to talk to children about war.

#AutumnPlease Day 2: This is a wordless picturebook created by the artist as a response to what is going on in his country, Ukraine. The book opens with just shades of black, then barbed wires, and a child staring out from behind the forbidding wires, where a monstrous spider began chasing the child. Where there are spiders, there are #Cobwebs. My full review of this visually arresting picturebook: https://wp.me/pDlzr-pGU
