The fact that Andrey's mother did not forget the Japanese woman wandering through the snow-covered city in search of a pineapple made a lasting impression on me. Her words taught me how to forgive the universe, how to feel gratitude even when you can no longer smile. It was a sad and heavy, yet beautiful conversation. I don’t know if there is such a genre, but I decided to write a picture book for adults. I want it to be read by adults who were once children.
