Chronicles of Toddler Age

Andrey Kolesnikov is a special correspondent for the publishing house "Kommersant", the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Russian Pioneer", and the author of political bestsellers about the president of Russia and a dozen other books. But among the variety of his... projects, there is one special one – "Fatherhood", dedicated to the upbringing of his children. "Chronicles of Toddler Age" is an honest and sincere diary of a father who, with some astonishment, observes the rapid growth of his two-year-old son, whom they could not name differently than also Andrey: he turned out to be too similar. Every day in the life of Andrey Andreevich is a chain of great events. The first bitten apple (without these apples, he won't even be able to fall asleep soon), the first snail encountered on the road, where Andrey is always frozen next to the first speed bump... The father shares his worries, excitement, concern, and tenderness, describing on a daily basis how his son grows and changes, and whether he is becoming too smart for his age... This book is a relevant archive of memories, captured perhaps so that one day adult Andrey can return to these pages and read about the toddler age from which he came into the world of adults. And soon, very soon, he will enter the mischievous age. The chronicles are complemented by illustrations created almost in a reportage style and at the same time full of artistic tenderness by artists Inga and Lesha Aksyonov.
