"Nimble People" is her first book. It is a collection about people who do not chase great success, who do not strive to meet golden standards. In a vast and colorful world, they seek their place and believe that in the end, everything will be alright. Illustrations by Marina Kozi naki. "Luzhbina hears the growth of the stone, knows the clouds by name, and pays attention to people too. With a blade of grass in her teeth, chin propped up, she watches how we freeze, melt, flow away, and ripple - living our lives." Yevgeny Babushkin
