Written by Linda Elovitz Marshall, Illustrated by Grasya Oliyko
I learned a lot from this book! This book packs in the history between Russia and Ukraine, the life of Volodymyr Zelensky, and what is currently happening in those nations in an intriguing and entertaining book. It feels weird to say that this book was entertaining based upon what it is discussing, but I think because the pictures are so vibrant and Zelensky’s funny and enthusiastic side are highlighted, it is actually a really uplifting book. In the end, you really are rooting for Zelensky and Ukraine! An absolutely great nonfiction read for elementary.
