Salute of a Thousand Lights

Very nice poems and their cheerful illustrations immerse us in the good world of childhood. They will remind us of how great it is to be a child: hopping on one leg and then rushing with all your might to... grandma, who has prepared an apple pie ("On One Leg"), tell about sorrows and mischief ("Crybaby," "Stickers," "Lessons," "Tsunami"), about creative impulses and love for loved ones ("The Artist," "Mom's Birthday"). They also touch on those important moments when a small person begins to ponder, makes their first discoveries, and learns the secrets of the surrounding life ("The Chicken with a Paw," "Ants"). A salute of a thousand lights, their home, garden, bench where they loved to sit - this is the priceless burden that the hero of this book is ready to carry from childhood ("Backpack"). The lightly ironic verses of Dina Burachevskaya will be remembered by readers.
