“Butler includes stories of survival, sacrifice, and unspeakable violence, as well as reflections on community care and people’s hopes and dreams and what brings them joy. The subjects and settings are carefully rendered in sparsely colored ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations, offering a loose, unfinished style that befits the ever-evolving stories and conflict. . . . A raw and indelible work that presents the experiences, perspectives, and voices of ordinary people.”

—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“A moving oral history that humanizes war.”

Ukraine: Remember Also Me: Testimonies from the War

Written by George Butler
Illustrated by George Butler
Published by Candlewick Studio

While reporting on the war in Ukraine, George Butler has created striking and intimate illustrations to introduce us to the people behind the headlines. His drawings, made in a variety of places from missile-scarred streets to nursing homes, vividly capture stories of family, tragedy, and perseverance. These powerful portraits of war and conflict are a timely reminder of the humanity we all share and our universal need for peace. A stunning, illuminating, and sensitive look at stories that deserve to be told.

Includes a foreword by Oksana Markarova, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States.
