I Read Canadian
In the week or so leading up to I Read Canadian Day, I highlighted a favourite books and book people. Here are some of those!
Ukrainian rights for Bombs trilogy
Books – XXI has acquired Ukrainian rights to Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch’s Making Bombs for Hitler. The middle-grade novel is described as a pulse-pounding novel of survival, courage, and hope that shows us a lesser-known piece of WWII history. The deal was arranged by Scholastic Canada’s Maral Maclagan in cooperation with Literary Agency OVO in Ukraine. The publisher has acquired the three books in this trilogy: Making Bombs for Hitler, Stolen Child, and Underground Soldier.

Trapped in Hitler’s Web, Jan 23 event
Marta Czurylowicz did a wonderful job of moderating this virtual book event, or should I say events? It was supposed to be a single presentation but in order to reduce the audience size we did two back to back presentations. The questions were very interesting! I was thrilled to find out that Marta received an autographed copy of Hope’s War from her mother as a gift twenty years ago and receiving that book was one of the reasons she decided to go into journalism. That makes me so happy! Many thanks to Tania Onyschuk of Koota Ooma who organized the virtual event, and the Shevchenko Scientific Society for hosting the webinar. Thanks also to TWUC and the Canada Council for funding.
