Winterkill in-person launch at Brantford Public Library Thank you, Brantford Public Library for hosting Thursday evening’s launch of Winterkill, in the midst of Holodomor Memorial Week. This was the first in-person book event for me since the pandemic began and I was a little bit nervous. A small but mighty group of people came out, including students from Laurier Brantford (this pic was taken by student Ayse Aras), mothers and daughters, a friend from CFUW Brantford, friends from the Brant Historical Society, and one of my fellow kidcritters. Thank you, Zile for the intro and set-up. And thank you, everyone who came out for the great conversation.
The lullaby that Lida and Luka sing in Making Bombs The English translation is: Little cradle, little cradle Rock our little baby, So she’ll sleep and not cry So she’ll grow and nothing hurt her – Not her head nor her whole body. Thank you, Cornelia Bilinsky for your research assistance!!
