Record details

General Note:	"A Paula Wiseman book."
Summary, etc.:	Fedir and Alina loved their life--and their family--in Kyiv, Ukraine. Their sunflower fields were growing bright, and their first daughter, Yana, was born as the country celebrated its independence from Russia. Years passed, and now Yana had a husband and daughter of her own--and a grand sunflower harvest. Then one day in February, the sky turned dark. Russia had invaded Ukraine. The life Yana's family knew was gone, and they fled their beloved home to a far away place called America. Patricia Polacco draws on her Ukrainian heritage to tell this intergenerational story of family love and the traditions of the Ukrainian people.
