When I look at the photographs
taken in this book it stirs many different emotions in me. I am saddened by the evidence these photographs display concerning
the lack of funding, care, and neglect these children endure. However, seeing a smile on some of the children, no matter what
their circumstances, completely melts my heart. This book made me take a moment to acknowledge how much I
appreciate the many blessings in my life, especially my children. I have a great deal of admiration for someone
like Mike Nakonachny that extends himself the way he has by making the journey to Ukraine, taking these photographs and sharing
them with the world. A true act of unselfishness, kindness and humanity.

This book expresses both in photography and poetry the plight of the orphans in Ukraine. The book
conveys its message without being overly lengthly. The child's world is displayed in bright full page photos. An
excellent book in raising awareness of the orphans in Ukraine.
