About Olebre Books

Sonia Strockyj, a storyteller at heart, brings to life the rich tapestry of human experience through her diverse range of writings. Drawing inspiration from the belief that every person has a unique story to tell, Sonia has crafted three enchanting children’s books and a compelling novel that traverse the realms of adventure, heritage, and survival.

Her children’s series, “Marilu,” is inspired by her own mother’s childhood adventures in Puerto Rico. These stories, filled with warmth and wonder, are brought to life by Marilu and her faithful doll companion, inviting young readers into a world of exploration and discovery.

Sonia’s profound novel, “I Want to Go Home,” stems from an intimate interview with a woman whose remarkable tale of survival in a WWII slave camp needed to be shared with the world. This narrative not only sheds light on the resilience of the human spirit but also preserves a crucial piece of history.

“The Spider and the Christmas Tree,” a delightful Ukrainian folktale, weaves the significance of family, culture, and beliefs into the fabric of Christmas celebrations. Sonia’s retelling of this story connects readers with the universal values that bind us across generations and geographies.

With a passion for true events and a gift for storytelling, Sonia Strockyj invites readers of all ages to delve into her books, each a window to different worlds, yet all rooted in the authentic essence of lived experiences.
