- Description
In Five Stalks of Grain, Nadia and Taras face hardship, loss, and grief as they try to survive the Holodomor in Soviet Ukraine. This graphic novel shows the moral struggles faced even by children, in a fictional story involving historical events. The book’s artwork features simple, clean lines in contrasting black and white only, a style that lends itself well to a story of such grim conditions and encourages readers to focus on the book’s message. Given its historical connections, this book could be used for social studies lessons but could also inspire fine arts or English lessons. A list of additional resources is included at the end.
