World Kid Lit Month 2023: A Book from Europe

A book from Europe: 

Maya and her friends. 
Written by Larysa Denysenko; illustrated by Masha Foya; translated by Burshtyna Tereshchenko. 

Studio Press, 2022.

The recent full-scale invasion of Ukraine has almost overshadowed the fact that areas of Ukraine have been under attack since 2014. 

Although war, and its effects, are inevitably referenced in this book - the focus is on diversity and inclusion. On family. And, on love. 

The book has been published with really upfront ethics - to the extent of noting the paper used. 

I would love to see more publishers head that way.
