Why did you make this work:
This is a Russian edition of the best-selling “The Wild Book”. This book is about magic of reading and how cosmic it can be. It tells us about friendship and growing up, about a child who grows up remaining close to his family and finds his own way. This book is extremely meaningful to me personally because I have an 11 y.o. daughter and two nieces (15 and 18) who inspire me every day of my life.
