Bøker av Yevgenia Nayberg

"A young girl recounts the life of the artist Florine Stettheimer, with whom she feels great kinship, and imagines what they'd do if they could meet"--

Imaginatively illustrated with splashes of borsch-bright red, this book captures the complicated experience of rejecting and embracing ones culture. Witty and poignant, I Hate Borsch will encourage readers to ponder how history, heritage, and food can shape our identities.

Left-handed Anya draws with great passion . . . but only when she's alone.In Russia, right-handedness is demanded--it is the right way. This cultural expectation stifles young Anya's creativity and artistic spirit as she draws the world around her in secret.Hiding away from family, teachers, and neighbors, Anya imagines a secret society of famous left-handed artists drawing alongside her. But once her family emigrates from Russia to America, her life becomes less clandestine, and she no longer feels she needs to conceal a piece of her identity.
