ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Linda Elovitz Marshall has been a sheep farmer, early childhood educator, anthropologist, and indie bookstore owner. Her books have been Sydney Taylor Notable Award winners, as well as Junior Library Guild, PJ Library, and National Science Teacher Association selections. She and her husband raised their family in a 250-year-old farmhouse in New York’s Hudson Valley. Being in Prague when Russian tanks arrived in the late 1960s, being Jewish, and having ancestors from Zolochiv, Ukraine, she knew she had to write about President Volodymyr Zelensky and the fight for Ukraine.
