From the publishers of The Little Book: Story Reader for a Free Ukraine comes Olya and Olena Escape the Invaders, a story about two young Ukrainian ballet students who escape the Russian invasion of Mariupol and embark on a difficult journey to safety. Along the way they encounter helpers who aid them on their way, including an angelic grandmother and a dog named Rinnie. Although they know they will miss their homeland, they eventually make their way to Canada where they too become important helpers.
