I like to leave lots of room for questions when presenting to students and this morning’s questions were superb! The topic was Winterkill, set during the Holodomor. Plus, I always talk about my own struggles as a kid, for example not reading til I was 9, and being bullied. Here are some of my favorite questions of the day:
If the Holodomor was such a huge event, how was it possible to hide it?
How did you deal with the bullying, and were you able to get it to stop?
Did you ever regret writing your first book about the Holodomor (Enough), seeing as you were subjected to so much hate because of it?
