“There is something inside” by Evgenia Basova, Maria Boteva, Nina Dashevskaya and others.
From 10 years. Little trials and discoveries lie in wait for the heroes of these stories everywhere. The main thing is to overcome embarrassment and not miss the chance to respond to them. Confess your love, help a junior high school student stuck in a puddle, or prevent a friend from embarrassing himself with a model airplane. Nine Russian writers give boys and girls their tips, funny or serious, on how to be able to show those best feelings that are hidden inside everyone in the hectic school and vacation life.

“A Little Love Tale” by Ulf Stark
From 7 years. A touching Christmas story from the Swedish classic, which is read in one breath. On the eve of the holiday, Fred is not in the mood. Dad is stuck in a stupid war, mom gets angry, and everything falls apart, even the message he wants to convey in class to pretty Elsa. It would seem that it is just right to close from everyone. But if you believe that everything will work out, a miracle can happen.
Translation from Swedish. Maria Lapteva. White Crow, 132 p.

“Coral Reefs” door Jason Chin
From 5 years. Coral reefs are not in vain called “cities of the sea”: for some they are a home, and for others – a refuge or even a restaurant. The colorful encyclopedia of writer and artist Jason Chin contains an amazing amount. On the one hand – the latest discoveries of oceanology, on the other – fabulous illustrations, between the lines – a sincere call to love nature, and at the end – advice on how to do it not only in words.

Alexei Lisachenko (Yuri Gagarin, Dmitry Mendeleev), Anna Gerasimenko (Valentina Tereshkova, Sofia Kovalevskaya).

… true friendship
“White Fox” by Timothy Le Veel
From 3 years. We are growing and changing. Sometimes too suddenly. So it was with the red fox, who awoke in the midst of the fallen snow and found that he himself had turned white. Of course, it was hard to believe in it, it even became scary – what is wrong with me? But friends were not afraid of the new fox appearance and supported him in search of an answer. In this cozy winter tale, amazing illustrations are subtle, impressionistic and tell a story as much as the text.
