First-grader Kolya dreams of becoming a captain and going on a voyage. He also wants to be brave and strong, like the kids in the old movies he watches with his mom. Kolya thinks that the heroes in those movies...
were all like that because they wore red ties. Kolya even wrote a letter to Ded Moroz in advance. Right in January! And he ordered a tie. But the New Year is such a long wait. For now, he is preparing for a voyage on an unusual vessel… What kind? You will find out in the book.
Besides, Kolya is eagerly waiting for summer, because the whole family will go hiking. But there will be so many events before summer! There will be flowers for Neznayka, and a white tiger in the museum, and finally, the unfortunate wasp… It was precisely because of it that Kolya realized that a hike has to be earned, which is very difficult. But if you have overcome yourself, then you won't need a red tie — strength is not in it.
This story is the debut of Ekaterina Maximova as a writer. In the characters of her stories, young readers will recognize themselves, and perhaps their parents as well. The famous artist Anastasia Yustus has captured the characters' personalities very precisely, and her illustrations will make reading — whether the first independent or with adults — even more exciting.
