Overview

Katya's Sunflowers is inspired by a true story and is dedicated to the current war and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine as well as World War Two. The book tells a story of a Ukrainian woman Katya who saved two Jewish boys during World War 2. The boys grew up and left Ukraine while staying in touch with Katya and her family. 80 years later, and after Katya's death, when the current Russian invasion of Ukraine began in February of this year, the children of those two boys flew back to Ukraine. They rescued Katya's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, by moving the whole extended family from Ukraine to a nearby Poland. I am Julie. I am a half-Russian, half-Ukrainian and the author of this story. Barbara, the wonderfully talented illustrator of this book, is Polish. Our goal is for this book to reach as many people as possible as it has to do with the current crisis, which currently claims 11 million refugees and thousands of deaths. I would love for the book to be noticed and serve a cause, ie help children understand the current situation and place in history. All the funds from Katya's Sunflowers sales will be donated to refugee families.
