Description for Maja And Friends
hardcover. ALL THE PUBLISHER'S PROFITS WILL BE DONATED DIRECTLY TO UNICEF AND THEIR EFFORTS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN IN UKRAINE. Since the occupation of Crimea in 2014, Ukrainian families with children have had to live their daily lives in the shadow of the threat of war. Maja and Friends tells the story of ordinary Ukrainian children and their families. Nine-year-old Maja has 16 classmates, all with different home backgrounds.

Timko's parents are divorced, and he lives alternately with his mother and father. Petro is a Roma and has a huge family clan. Maja herself, on the other hand, has two mothers.
