Under Attack receives Social Studies Books Award
Thrilled to learn that KIDNAPPED FROM UKRAINE #1: UNDER ATTACK has been named a Winner of the 2026 NCSS-CBC Social Studies Books Award!
Here’s the full list.
The Notable Social Studies Trade Book Awards are an annual project of the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the Children’s Book Council (CBC) running since 1972. This award list features K-12 annotated titles published in the previous calendar year that are exceptional books for use in social studies classrooms, selected by social studies educators.

On Dec 4th, I did a zoom presentation for the Lecture Series sponsored by the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, University of Manitoba. Here’s the recording. Many thanks to CUCS!
More pics and feedback for World Read Aloud Day
Teacher feedback: Thank you so much for once again joining us at Gideon Welles School in Glastonbury, CT, for World Read Aloud Day! We are so grateful for the time you took from your busy schedule to meet with us. Our students devour your books and have been writing historical fiction themselves. Your presentation was so supportive of what the English teachers are teaching right now-it was perfect timing!
More WRAD pics
This is a pic from my WRAD presentation with Pioneer MS in Plymouth MI. I loved the opportunity to read to the students as they were having lunch. Good questions and lots of connections.
WRAD — eleven schools!
I did ten virtual WRAD sessions today, plus the one on Monday night with Tashkent International School. Fantastic students, fantastic questions. Great organizing by educators! The top pic is from Highland MS, Libertyville IL. The bottom is from Allendale MS, MI. The bottom pic shows two books that I think students will enjoy reading. Sheryl Azzam’s Red Flags and Butterflies, and Chrystyna K. Lucyk-Berger’s Swimming With Spies.

Thank you, Helen Kubiw!
Dear Helen, your review of Standoff on CanlitforLittleCanadians is a balm to my soul. This is my favourite quote: “Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch knows how to tell a story of immense tragedy by pairing it with resilience, affection, and hope.”
