Question

Question

Still, life goes on,

cheerfully as before,

the three small bushes 

fronting our house 

are coming into bloom—

our first spring here, 

so new to us. 

 

We watch their green leaves

sprout, witnessing again 

the miracle of spring,

knowing that what is continues, 

anew, renewed,

to flow and flower again, 

for us to trust that we

are not done,

that a virus can only

slow us down,

not eliminate us

as it seems bent on doing—

 

What is the lesson to carry

away from all of this:

ask and answer and question

but do not give up.

Pandemic Poems

Goodnight Moon has sold over 48 million copies and has been translated into at least 14 languages.  Sadly, this classic bedtime story has never been translated into Ukrainian...until now.   Together, let's translate and publish Goodnight Moon in Ukrainian and share it with Ukrainian children across the world.

 

Intended to set the stage for a night of sweet dreams, the Ukrainian edition of Goodnight Moon is now more relevant than ever for the children of Ukraine.  Forced to leave their homes as a result of a heart-wrenching war, these children have lost everything - their homes, their sense of security, and their way of life.  No child should have to endure such torment.  No child should be deprived of a night of sweet dreams.  And so, the war in Ukraine has given this translation campaign a new sense of urgency.  If we hit our minimum printing target goal, we will print at least 3,000 copies for the young children who have been displaced from their homes in Ukraine as well as for the maternity ward in Kyiv.  (If we exceed our goal, we'll be able to donate even more books!)

In the midst of uncertainty and chaos, the simplicity and calmness of Goodnight Moon will send a powerful message of relief to the children of the Ukraine and let them know that they are not alone.  We hope that this book will bring together children all across the globe - peering out to the same moon in the night sky.
