Canadian Children’s Book Week Author Visit: Marsha Skrypuch

In celebration of Canadian Children’s Book Week, children’s author Marsha Skrypuch will present on her book trilogy Kidnapped from Ukraine.

Marsha Skrypuch is an internationally bestselling children’s author whose books span a century of wars from a kid’s view, concentrating on those stories that have been erased by oppressive regimes. Her best-known book is Making Bombs for Hitler. Her most recent is the Kidnapped from Ukraine trilogy. She has received death threats and honours for her writing. Marsha lives in Brantford, Ontario, and you can visit her online at calla.com

Marsha talks about the war, the books, how she did her research, and the challenges she encountered. She also talks about what happens when you’re banned for life by Russia (she is the only children’s author in North America thus targeted).
