The Oil Spill

The Oil Spill’ tells a story of Solomiia, a fish living in the Black Sea, whose life gets interrupted by an enormous black mass that takes over her home town, absorbing everyone and everything she loves.

Inspired by the ongoing War in Ukraine and my own family’s experience, Mila’s story aims to build a bridge between those who went through the complexity and uncertainty of war and those who have not.

Despite the fact that it is a children’s book, ‘The Oil Spill’ carries an important message that is valuable not only for kids, but for adults as well.
