Ołeksandr Myched

Kotek, Kogutek, Szafka

Set in Borodyanka near Kyiv during the first weeks of Russia’s invasion, this poignant, magical fable follows Grandma Liza, her granddaughter Sonia, and three unusual companions: The Cat, The Rooster, and The Locker. Silent observers of chaos and courage, they become a testament to loss, endurance, and fragile hope.

Written by Mykhed, himself a soldier who lost his home to bombing, it gains poignant authenticity Paired with Zhenia Polosina’s award-winning art, the book was recognised by the 6th  Nami Island International Picture Book Illustration Concours 2023
