A Sea of Gold — Patricia Polacco
“An empathetic, heartbreaking look at how warfare can tear families apart -- and how traditions still endure.” -- Kirkus Reviews
Beloved and bestselling storyteller Patricia Polacco draws on her Ukrainian heritage in this picture book following one family's history through the generations and the powerful bond of their love.
In the village of Cherinovska, Ukraine, a family raises sunlasknuk (sunflowers) through the generations. When war erupts, they're forced to leave their beloved home for a faraway world: America. Arriving with nothing but the clothes on their back -- and the seeds in one little girl's pockets -- can they make a living…and a new home?
