Written and Illustrated by Yevgenia Nayberg

Even though eating borsch is just as Ukrainian as growing sunflowers or defending castles, a young Ukrainian girl refuses to love her country’s favorite beet soup. But when the girl immigrates to the United States, no American food can satisfy her hunger. Maybe that disgusting soup deserves another chance… h“A delightful exploration of the dimensions of traditions.”
Imaginatively illustrated with splashes of borsch-bright red, this book captures the complicated experience of rejecting and embracing one’s culture. Witty and poignant, I Hate Borsch! will encourage readers to ponder how history, heritage, and food can shape our identities.
