This chapter argues that the production of Ukrainian children's war literature may be regarded as an act of resistance, in as much as it kindles hope for the future, nurtures solidarity between different groups in Ukrainian society, fosters resilience in the face of hardship, and in some cases even teaches practical survival skills. Significantly, it participates in creative resistance in part by regularly evoking the past in order to project an anticipated peaceful future. Thus, this chapter further demonstrates that Ukrainian war narratives valorize Ukraine's past - its history, traditions, folklore, and mythology - while linking it to the future. Thus, in a sense, Ukrainian (projected) identity is produced through books that play the role of metaphorical seeds of memory.
