Anastasia Stefurak. Ukrainian Proverbs (illustrated).

 Track 
Reviews (1)
Proverbs as such are something conventional, and there are already lots of collections of them. But the proverb is something often quite abstract, so children not always understand them well. While here – Anastasia Stefurak has pictured them and has made them literally visible. And you will see – the pictures are cool: the simplicity and the slight paradox of her drawings not only illustrate, but sometimes also lead to questions – i.e., they suggest reflecting.
This book is for vivacious learning of the language, it denies the mechanistic perception. And thus – it can be a great present not only for the children who are right now discovering the world, but also for the adults who have banally got accustomed to the world...

Dmytro Pavlychko. Zolotorohy Olen. (The Golden Horn Deer)


The great tale by Dmytro Pavlychko about true friendship of a boy and a deer – as a new version, which the author prepared specifically for our publication. In my opinion, "The Golden Horn Deer" is the best modern fairy-tale poem for children. - Ivan Malkovych -

Maryana Savka. Tykhi virshyky na zymu. (Quiet Poems for Winter)


Winter is a fairy time. Going down the hill on a sledge, sculpting a snowman, caroling, and celebrating the New Year – so many wonderful activities and experiences for kids! But the joy may be even greater when they conveniently snuggle in the mom's and dad's laps, reading the wonderful "Quiet Poems for Winter"...

Palindromy. Cardboard book. (Palindromes)


Perhaps, not every mom or dad know what a palindrome is (or spoonerism, or literary inversion). So, having looked through this cardboard book with their kids, they will be able to read phrases hidden in the pictures – both in the usual way, and... topsy turvy. The hint will be the specific "mirror" feature of the pictures.

Tirza Atar. Vid viyny plachut. (They Cry Because of War)


These poems were composed by Israeli poet Tirza Atar. She composed them long ago, in the mid 70s. Sure, not about our reality – but about theirs, for the war has long been grown into normal lives of people there. And it is creepy that these poems – written on behalf of a seven year-old Jewish girl – are so much in unison with our reality..

Чудова книга! Довго шукали для дитини, її чомусь не перевидають. Дуже емоційні та влучні ілюстрації. Деякі прислів'я для мене як жителя центральної України були в новинку. Але книга дуже гарна і дорослим подобається навіть більше ніж дитині)
