And the other, a mother spider who also worked hard to care for her family. And although it would appear they were as different as night and day, these two mothers had more in common than would first seem. As the only holiday gift she can give her children, one cold Christmas Eve the peasant woman goes to the forest to get a tree, never noticing that someone has made a home among its branches. During the night, the mother spider spins webs decorating the tree, resulting in a Christmas that neither mother will ever forget. Based on an old Ukrainian story, Trinka Hakes Noble (The Orange Shoes) crafts an original heartwarming tale of the grace that can be found in the true spirit of Christmas. Trinka Hakes Noble's numerous picture books include The Scarlet Stockings Spy (IRA Teachers' Choice 2005), The Last Brother, The Orange Shoes (IRA Teachers' Choice 2008), and Apple Tree Christmas. Ms. Noble lives in northern New Jersey. Stephen Costanza attended the Philadelphia College of Art. His picture books are Mozart Finds a Melody, Noodle Man: The Pasta Superhero, and Ten Big Toes and a Prince's Nose. He lives in Belfast, Maine.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Introduction to Ukraine is a brief overview of the country situated in Eastern Europe, which gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The capital of Ukraine is Kiev, and the official language is Ukrainian. The population of Ukraine is approximately 44 million, making it the 32nd most populous country in the world. Ukraine has a rich cultural and historical heritage, as well as a diverse landscape, including the Carpathian Mountains and the Black Sea coastline. Ukraine is an important agricultural producer, particularly of wheat, corn, and potatoes. Additionally, Ukraine has a significant industrial sector, including steel production and aerospace engineering. The political situation in Ukraine has been unstable since the overthrow of former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, with the ongoing conflict with Russia over the annexation of Crimea and the ongoing fighting in eastern Ukraine between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists. Despite these challenges, Ukraine has made progress towards integration with the European Union, and in 2020, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced plans for major reforms in the country, including anti-corruption measures and judicial reform. With its rich history and promising future, Ukraine remains an important country and emerging democracy in Eastern Europe.
