Children of War: an anthology to support the children of Ukraine by Astrid V.J., Susan Stradiotto, C. Phillip
5.0

The stories in this book are moving and heartbreaking. I am amazed by the creativity of the authors who came together to tell fictional (and one non-fiction) stories of how war impacts children.

The anthology includes literary fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, and memoir. Some had themes that were emotionally challenging to read, but it felt important to let myself sit with the feelings of how war affects so many families.

The proceeds of this book are being donated to Voices of Children which is an organization in the Ukraine that focuses on helping traumatized children find psychological healing through therapy.

I definitely recommend reading this book knowing that your purchase goes towards an important cause!

Thank you to the authors for the ARC copy in exchange for an honest review!
