Dedushka: Memories of My Grandpa and Ukraine
Katerina Spaeth, illustrated by Katerina Spaeth
A narrator looks back on growing up in Kharkiv, Ukraine, in the 1990s with her grandfather, whom she calls Dedushka. Short scenes show his lessons: speaking, keeping their groceries safe, and putting flowers in her hair. Together, these moments portray practical care and affection, showing how a grandfather’s presence shapes everyday family life. The book is framed as an homage to that shared childhood.
