Agatka the Giraffe – Olha-Mariia Hnyp (Ukrainian Children’s Book)

A gentle Ukrainian story for children aged 6–8, based on the experience of a real girl. One day Agatka notices white spots on her hands and fingers, and she cannot even remember the complicated word the doctor used for them.

Her condition changes how she sees herself and others, and reveals things she had never noticed before. A warm, reassuring book about accepting differences, our own and other people’s, that helps children talk about how bodies can look different and that this is perfectly fine.
