Winterkill Webinar for educators

Thank you, Valentina Kuryliw and HREC ED for hosting this wonderful opportunity to discuss Winterkill with Dr. Mateusz Swietlicki, author of many academic works, including the upcoming Next-Generation Memory and Ukrainian Canadian Children’s Historical Fiction. Thank you to all who tuned in. The webinar will soon be available online as an educator resource.

St. James School

Thank you Ms Richardson and your 7/8 students for great questions and interesting conversation about Winterkill, the Holodomor and Russia’s current war on Ukraine. Thank you, HREC ED for making this visit possible!

Webinar for educators about Winterkill

Thank you, HREC Education, for providing this webinar for educators. I look forward to speaking with Dr. Mateusz Świetlicki about Winterkill, my novel set during the Holodomor, and how it can be used in the classroom as an entry into a time in Ukraine’s history that is chillingly like the current war.

Visiting Waukon MS

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is visiting with kids who have read my books! This was such an enjoyable visit with students and educators from Waukon MS. Thank you Ms Snitker, for putting together this video and sharing these great photos. Thank you Scholastic Book Fairs for organizing!

HREC ED funded visit to Hallsville Elementary

What a lovely visit with Hallsville Intermediate School 5th grade students! Carli Procter did such good organizing and it was nice to see former librarian extraordinaire Melanie Dulaney as well!
This virtual visit was funded through a grant with HREC – Education Holodomor Research and Education Consortium – HREC for book talks on my newest novel, Winterkill, which is set during the Holodomor. Thank you for the visit, and HREC, thank you for funding 30 of these visits! (one down, twenty-nine to go!)

Hurffville Elementary virtual visit

These pics from the other side of the screen are ever so much better than mine! I enjoyed the great questions and enthusiasm of Hurffville students during yesterday’s Scholastic Book Fair visit as we talked about Winterkill, the Holodomor and the current war that Russia is inflicting upon Ukraine.

Saving for posterity

This doesn’t happen too often — at least not to me! Winterkill is a #1 hot new release on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca, but also shows up on both top ten lists three ways! Check this out!
