The story about Elvis the hedgehog, whom no one wanted to hug (of course, because the hedgehog is prickly!), was invented and painted for the youngest children by the English writer and artist John Rowe.
The book was loved by readers of all ages. Probably because everyone has a need to overcome the distance that separates us from other people. And the distance is not only physical. What, by the way, you can talk with your child after reading this colorful, funny and kind book together. The poet and translator Marina Boroditskaya retold the tale. Thanks to her, a short but very capacious text began to sound original and lively in Russian.
