Seeds of the Sun

‘Seeds of the Sun’ is a heartwarming story about friendship & global connection. Charlie, a curious fox from Michigan, travels to Kherson, Ukraine to visit his cousin Sophia. Together they explore Sophia’s beautiful homeland, discovering how people in different parts of the world share appreciation for nature, friendship & yummy treats! Their adventure is complete with the making of nalysnyky with a touch of Michigan Maple Syrup.

Charlie & Sophia show how friendship & understanding can grow across distance & differences. Through their adventures, readers learn about another culture while recognizing familiar feelings - curiostiy, kindness, & the comfort of being cared for. Seeds of the Sun’ helps readers build empathy, see the world through someone else’s eyes, & realize that even when the world feels uncertain, small connections can bring hope & light.

All proceeds from Seeds of the Sun will go directly to Tetiana’s school in Ukraine, supporting students ages 5-15 as they continue to learning through unimaginable challenges. You can donate now, buy the book (available November 2025) - or do both! Every dollar helps keep classrooms open, spirits lifted & young minds growing. Together, we can remind these kids that even in the darkest times, the world still cares.
