A heartrending and beautiful trilingual book that gives voice to the children of war-torn Ukraine, interspersed with moving works of art.

What is it like to be a child living in a country under siege—or living in a foreign city or land far from everything you have known and loved In this moving and unforgettable book, Ukraine’s children speak out about growing up in amid the violence, terror, and death of war. Through the Eyes of Children is a collection of children’s quotes paired with evocative color artwork. Each quote appears in Cyrillic, transliterated Ukrainian, and English, making the book a tool for both language learning and language preservation.

The proceeds payable to the Voices of Children Charitable Foundation provide mental health support for Ukrainian children.

Reviews for Through the Eyes of Children: Quotes from Childhood Interrupted by War in Ukraine, Illustrated by Artists

"""Kids and war are incompatible. And yet when you read what war-time kids dream of and remember you cannot but feel anguish for their disrupted childhood. Both children and adults will understand and appreciate this book."" — Andrey Kurkov, author of International Booker Prize longlisted novels The Silver Bone and Jimi Hendrix Live in Lviv"
