I am a Bat

About the book: 
Some adore bats, some are scared of them (completely in vain!)… But they leave no one indifferent! A little bat is a big worker. It catches hundreds of mosquitoes an hour, hunts harmful insects, and saves our fields and forests from them. The bats in our book – cute and harmless – want to tell you about their unique skills, explain why you shouldn’t be afraid of them, and simply make friends with you!

The author of the book "I am a Bat", Marina Abramova – a loving mother, social activist, and publisher. She worked as the director of the largest publishing holding in Russia, EKSMO-AST, and previously worked at ITAR-TASS. Her sons are already grown up, but she believes that not only children, but also adults will be interested in reading the books of the “AnimalBooks” series. There are many complex tasks in her role as a director, but writing this book has become a very important and exciting event for her.

“Bats are feared and attributed bloodthirsty traits to them, although among them there are vegetarians, gentle fruit eaters, there are fans of French cuisine who prefer frogs, and there are bloodsuckers, but they are very few, you can’t find them during the day even with a lantern. And the vision and hearing of bats – that’s a separate story. Can you imagine, they see with their ears, and sleep upside down! Open the book, and the bat will share all its secrets with you, even the darkest ones!”

“Night, vampire, monster” – this is the stereotype perception of a bat. Is it really so? The proposal from the agency "Triangle" to create illustrations for the book about the bat was a complete surprise. The task was all the more interesting. And can a little bat be amusing? While drawing, I learned so many new things! It turns out… But all the most interesting is in the book!”
