Yellow Butterfly: A Story from Ukraine
Oleksandr Shatokhin, illustrated by Oleksandr Shatokhin
A wordless story follows a girl living through the Russia-Ukraine war. Stark black-and-white illustrations give way to the bright blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag as the narrative moves from war’s devastating effects toward hope for peace and the future. The book uses the flag’s colors and visual metaphors to convey the conflict and its emotional weight without spoken narration.
