The Tale of Strong Roots

The Tale of Strong Roots is a tender picture book inspired by Ukrainian family traditions and the search for belonging in a new place.

Through the story of Mariyka and her grandmother, children discover the quiet wisdom of family, the magic of nature, and the strength we carry within us no matter where life takes us.

Created by three generations of one family, this book blends warm storytelling, watercolor illustrations, and a gentle message about home, identity, and love that grows like the roots of a maple tree.

This paperback edition is designed as an affordable, family-friendly version perfect for classrooms, bedtime reading, travel bags, and everyday moments with little ones.
