Nine-year-old Tymosh is forced to grow up early when a great famine comes to his village. On the boy's shoulders is 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 grain 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 Steckovich.
