Description

The author of a book designed to help Ukrainian children deal with the trauma of war is about to read his work at a Surrey school for refugees fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Founded in Guildford on 8th January by a group of Ukrainian mothers, Guildford City Council and a group of volunteers from the GUkraine community, Surrey Ukrainian School offers 11 classes with 100 students enrolled every Sunday, teaching young refugees the Ukrainian language, history and traditions.

On Sunday, to mark one year since Russia invaded Ukraine, the school invited author Di Redmond, who has also written for the television series Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Bob The Builder, to read an excerpt from his latest book.
