From acclaimed author Linda Elovitz Marshall comes a picture book
biography of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that highlights
the importance of standing up for what one believes in, defending
freedom at all costs, and maintaining hope in the face of war’s
atrocities—with stunning art from Ukrainian illustrator Grasya
Oliyko. Volodymyr Zelensky wanted to make Ukraine a better, kinder,
more joyful place. Born to Jewish parents, Volodymyr had much love
and pride for his country. Growing up, even with Ukraine’s
various conflicts, he liked to make people laugh. After university,
he became a comedian and actor. But he knew humor wasn’t enough
to fix his nation’s ongoing problems. So, in 2019, he ran for
president—and won! Leading with honesty, heart, and humor,
President Zelensky stood up for what he believed in, no matter how
tough the situation. And when Ukraine was invaded, he bravely
defended his country, the Ukrainian people, and their right to
freedom at all costs. Featuring an author’s note, educational
timeline, and more, this powerful nonfiction account beautifully
captures President Volodymyr Zelensky’s journey to office and
Ukraine’s fight for truth and independence amidst rising
tensions.
