A Sea of Gold: A Ukrainian Family's Story Through the Generations

"This historical accounting that feels ripped from the headlines also offers a visually stunning testimony to resilience and renewal." --Publishers Weekly

Beloved and bestselling storyteller Patricia Polacco draws on her Ukrainian heritage in this picture book following one family's history through the generations and the powerful bond of their love.

In the village of Cherinovska, Ukraine, a family raises sunlasknuk (sunflowers) through the generations. When war erupts, they're forced to leave their beloved home for a faraway world: America. Arriving with nothing but the clothes on their back--and the seeds in one little girl's pockets--can they make a living...and a new home?
