Welcome to a very special episode, this week we wanted to honour Ukraine by learning more about it and sharing it with our listeners. Kelsey kicks us off by reading three very popular stories from Cossack Fairy Tales, which was originally published in 1894. Then, Alanna covers some traditional clothing and Pysanky, all before finishing off the episode with a deep dive into Baba Yaga and the story of Vasilisa the Beautiful.  We hope you enjoy this weeks episode, happy listening!
