The fairy tale about the crocodile hatching its chick turns 30 this year. And all this time, children and adults love her — perhaps because she makes us believe in the miracles that each of us is capable of. Indeed, despite the censure and ridicule, the crocodile did not abandon his son, did not eat, did not pretend that no one was born to him. He raised him and protected him from other crocodiles, and then the chick taught him to fly.

Open World has published a book with pictures by artist and cartoonist Leonid Tishkov, writer of incredible stories and creator of unseen creatures.
