( ) The style of the cover is stunning! This book is a translation of the Ukraine story about war. It features three characters that live in the small and peaceful town of Rondo and their daily lives. Eventually, a personified War comes and plagues the town's inhabitants and destroys anything in its path. The three friends seek to put a stop to war by exploring options. The illustration is unique, and a bit abstract; however, the author uses color to best display emotion. Muted tones represent danger and despair, while colorful ones as hope and strength. It is a good introduction for children to learn about war. However, they might be disengaged by the art style. no reviews | add a review
Danko, Zirka, and Fabian live peacefully in the small town of Rondo, a magical and joyful place where even the flowers sing! Everything is perfect... until the fateful day that War arrives. Having never experienced War, the inhabitants don't know what to do. They try to talk to it and fight it, but nothing seems to stop the spread of War's destruction and darkness. Harnessing the power of light, community, and song, Danko, Zirka, and Fabian, along with all their neighbors, must rally together to lead Rondo to victory. Publishing on Armistice Day/Veterans Day, How War Changed Rondo reflects the darkness and pain that conflict bring and the wounds that linger long after it's over. This picture book serves as a tribute to peace, resistance, and hope, and was written and illustrated by Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv, a husband-and-wife duo from Ukraine.
