Addressing the audience, Mrs. Yushchenko recalled her promise to translate an A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA book into English, made at one of the events organized by the publishing house head Ivan Malkovych. “It was an honor to work with prominent people like Ivan Malkovych and Sofiya Us. When translating this book, I was imagining reading it aloud to my children and thinking about how children would take it. I was very happy to do this job,” Mrs. Kateryna said, thanking by A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA Publishers for their beautiful books known not only in Ukraine but abroad.
Mrs. Kateryna also wished all the participants of the meeting a merry Christmas and happy New Year, bidding them and their home countries happiness and prosperity, and gave them copies of the Honey for Mommy in Ukrainian and English.
In his turn, Mr. Malkovych said that the publishers had decided to donate 10% of the returns from the Honey for Mommy sales for the Children’s Hospital of the Future charitable project.
The Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Fund and A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA Publishers share a long-term history of fruitful cooperation. Thousands of books by this one of the best Ukrainian publishing houses have been brought by the Fund to Ukraine’s children’s hospitals and libraries. In May 2006 Mrs. Yushchenko took part in the opening ceremony of the A-BA-BA-HA-LA-MA-HA Publishers original artwork show.
