Ksenya Kiebuzinski (University of Toronto) and Bogdan Horbal (NYPL) discuss a book Ksenya recently highlighted on the Fisher Library’s “Between the Pillars” podcast series, as well as on other media appearances related to library responses to the war on Ukraine. The children’s book Bim-bom dzelenʹ-bom!, with words based on a folk song and illustrations by Okhrim Sudomora, was published in Munich in 1949. Ksenya and Bogdan discuss its current relevance, Sudomora’s life, and the state of Ukrainian collections in North America today.
