Description

Learn about Czech and Slovak culture in this easy to read story book and coloring book, including different holidays and traditions, Bohemian style clothing, local food, and even a few Czech words.

The story and illustrations are based off of the lives and events of the Herold family, Stephanie Krubsack’s ancestors from Bohemia, present day Czech Republic. In an effort to preserve the rich Czech-Slovak culture and educate others, she was inspired to create this piece upon traveling to her ancestral home back in 2009 and reuniting with family after being separated for five generations. As the 2009-2010 Miss Wisconsin Czech-Slovak Queen, Stephanie was able to travel to the Czech Republic as a cultural ambassador.

Over 500 copies of the children’s book have been given to children around the world, or proceeds from sales donated to the Wisconsin Czechs Inc., an organization devoted to educating and sharing Czech-Slovak culture in Wisconsin and beyond.
