About Stefania
How War Shaped a Storyteller
Stefania Miro (Miroshnychenko) was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. From an early age, she dedicated her life to the study of fine art, illustration, and design. However, her journey as an artist, as well as her entire life, was disrupted by the outbreak of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Forced to leave the war-torn homeland and start afresh in Canada, Stefania encountered irreversible changes. The deep impact of these events unexpectedly led to discovering a talent for storytelling.
A gripping glimpse into a terrifying situation that too many people experience, and not enough people think about. Stefania's journey from Ukraine in the midst of war is emotionally raw, personal, and honest. Her easy to read writing style and detailed illustrations will keep you in the heart of each suspenseful moment page after page.
