Little Travel Book: The Executed Renaissance (Ukrainian ABC for Kids)

A new book in the much-loved Little Travel Book series by Iryna Taranenko and team, this time about the Executed Renaissance: the generation of brilliant Ukrainian writers, artists and theatre makers of the 1920s–30s whom the Soviet regime banned, silenced and killed.

Narrated by the book itself, it introduces children to names that were erased from memory for decades. The authors searched archives, old photographs and unpublished manuscripts to put together an alphabet of the Executed Renaissance. Made for parents and children aged 9–12 to read together, it is a gentle but honest way to talk about a difficult and important chapter of Ukrainian history.
