Astvatsatsin, the chapel of Verin Vank (Upper Monastery) located north of the village, and a chapel in the cemetery (northwest) upon the hill. According to locals, there are supposedly other churches nearby, and possibly a monastery in the gorge northwest of the village.
Kakavadzor is served by local public transportation that brings residents to nearby Hrazdan only four times a day since roads are in poor condition. Air pollution from the MIKA Cement factory in Hrazdan has been a continuing problem for residents.

## Education and culture

A single school serves Kakavadzor. Teachers are brought in from neighboring villages and Hrazdan since there are not enough qualified teachers found locally to fill the positions.

## Title

The book's title is taken from 1 Kings 19:12.

## Reception

* Lee Rourke in The Independent on Sunday writes: "Landscape plays a major role in Wyld's writing. It opens up the narrative, creating an eerie metaphorical space, or silence, between each character, mirroring the physical and mental fissures that separate each generation. Although nothing is truly silent: even the landscape is "thick with insect noise". The power of this mesmerising novel hangs on the premise that silence is impossible, while such impossibility forces the men who litter its landscape to desire it all the more." and Rourke concludes: "Wyld's writing is assured enough to elongate metaphor and symbolism, creating a novel both taut and otherworldly. This adroit examination of loss, lostness and trauma is the beginning of great things".
* The Observer has the following praise from Francesca Segal, "The landscape of Australia's east coast looms large in the book, wild and sinister, filled with light and tragedy. This is a sad and lovely novel from a talented new writer".
* The New Yorker praises the novel: "Wyld has a feel both for beauty and for the ugliness of inherited pain. The mood is creepy—strange creatures in the sugar cane, grieving neighbors, a missing local girl—and the sentiment is plain: 'Sometimes people aren't all right and that's just how it is.'"

# Liudmyla Semykina

She created a stained-glass panel depicting an angry Taras Shevchenko holding a battered woman and a book. The battered woman in Semykina's work symbolized Ukraine. The painting's inscription says "I shall glorify these small dumb slaves, I shall put the word on guard beside them." This painting was later destroyed by the Communist government. Due to her public petitions and political activities she was expelled from the Union of Artists of the Ukrainian SSR in 1968. From 1968 to 1988 Semykina designed traditional Ukrainian outfits.

# Seven Blind Mice

Seven Blind Mice is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Ed Young. Based on the Indian fable of the blind men and an elephant, the book tells the story of seven mice who, each day, explore and describe a different part of the elephant. It was well received by critics and received a Caldecott Honor for its illustrations.

## Background

When planning the book, Ed Young believed that the story would work better with pictures if the blind men were instead small animals exploring the elephant. He considered using monkeys at first, but wanted an even smaller animal, so settled on having the characters be mice instead.
Having added a seventh character, Young then began introducing other concepts that worked with that number, such as colors, with six of the mice representing the rainbow and the seventh a light. He later introduced the idea of the seven days of the week.

## Reception

Ed Young's book was received positively, including a starred review from The Horn Book Magazine. Horn Book's review praised the art, "where the brightly colored mice cavort against black backgrounds", and called the elephant's design "striking". A review for the School Library Journal also praised the book's art, saying the collage was "vibrant", and its use on a completely black background resulted in a "strong visual impact."
Publishers Weekly called Seven Blind Mice a "stunning celebration of color" , and also noted how the sparse use of text allows for "greater exploration and enjoyment of the artwork". The reviewer noted, though, that the story's moral could be seen as "superfluous" by some.
Kirkus Reviews called Young's retelling of the blind men and an elephant through the use of collage "innovative" and commented on the "dramatic black ground" in which the illustrations and text are superimposed against. Kirkus also noted how the final mouse, the one capable of seeing the whole picture, is the only female one. They concluded by calling the book "[e]xquisitely crafted".
Seven Blind Mice was the recipient of a Caldecott Honor in 1993.

## Adaptation

A video and audio version of the book was produced and published by Weston Woods Studios in 2007. The background music was done by Ernest V. Troost, while the narration was by BD Wong. The recording was also accompanied by a short interview with Young, who discussed the fable and talked about push back the book received "for having the white mouse figure out the puzzle, while noting that no one took exception to the fact that the smart mouse was the only female in the group".
This version was well received by critics and received ALA's "Notable Children's Recordings" award in 2008.
# Tar Beach

Tar Beach, written and illustrated by Faith Ringgold, is a children's picture book published by Crown Publishers, Inc., 1991. Tar Beach, Ringgold's first book, was a Caldecott Honor Book for 1992.

## Plot summary

The book is set in New York in 1939. Tar Beach is the roof of Cassie's Harlem apartment building. Cassie's dearest dream is to be free to go wherever she wants, and one day it comes true when the stars help her to fly across the city.

## Analysis

Children’s literature scholar Jonda C. McNair describes how Tar Beach is unique in its use of literary innovations, particularly its combination of various artforms such as quilt making, autobiography, and painting. As Ringgold said in an interview with cultural critic and daughter Michele Wallace, Tar Beach was not written for children but rather to recall the essence of childhood and invoke the memories associated with it.

## Awards

For Tar Beach, Ringgold won the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award and the Coretta Scott King Award for Illustration. She was also the runner-up for the Caldecott Medal, the premier American Library Association award for picture book illustration. Tar Beach was also a New York Times Best Illustrated Book and winner of the Parents' Choice Gold Award.
