NEW PROJECT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHILDREN AFFECTED BY WAR IN UKRAINE AND BEYOND
An oversized 8.5 × 11-inch hardcover illustrated novel for young adults and adults, featuring over 65 images of handcrafted dolls created by artists from around the world, brought to life through photography and graphic design.
Sponsored by Puddleby Charities, THE MOUSE WHO BROKE THE SKY, released in October 2026, is an oversized hardcover fully illustrated epic fantasy written by #1 bestselling author Howard Odentz and illustrated by award-winning photographer and graphic designer Karen Burke.
Using handmade dolls and sculptures by more than a dozen artists from around the world, this truly international collaboration is inspired by children affected by war in Ukraine and beyond.
Funds raised through this project will go to help these children as they learn to navigate a new world marred by war.
