“Rondo concerns everyone …”
March 9th, 2022 by jules
Now’s a fitting time to point readers back to this 7-Imp post, “‘Rondo Concerns Everyone’: A Guest Post by Oksana Lushchevska.” Back in 2015 at 7-Imp, Oksana Lushchevska — a doctoral student (at that time) in Reading, Writing, Children’s Literature, and Digital Literacy, who was born in Ukraine — reached out to me to see if she could write at 7-Imp about Ukrainian picture books. She contributed several posts, and one of those was about this book, The War That Changed Rondo, which Enchanted Lion Books released in English last fall as How War Changed Rondo (which Oksana translated). In her post about Rondo, Oksana wrote about the book and talked to the creators, Romana Romanyshyn and Andriy Lesiv, who shared a story with Oksana about how “Rondo concerns everyone.”
School Library Journal also shared this post this week at The Classroom Bookshelf.
As I’ve said at every social media platform I use (in order to get her attention), I’m having trouble reaching Oksana to check in on her. I hope she and her familiy are safe.
