Nine-year-old Timosh is forced to grow up early when a great famine comes to his village. On the shoulders of the boy lies the care of his younger brother and sister, and sometimes — also of the neighbor's children. In order to help his parents, Tymosh looks for grains in mouse holes at night, and replaces fishing on the Yatrana river, dear to his heart, to collecting flowers from trees.
This book is a tribute to those who could not survive one of the most terrible Soviet crimes. But it is also a story about humanity, solidarity and a miracle that helped Ukrainians to survive in times of famine. And the stories of Maria Pravda are complemented by the sensual and strong illustrations of Ludmila Stetskovich.
