Lyudmila Ulitskaya once created these stories for her children—and many years later, her grandchildren read them avidly. They learned about the old tram that dreams of the sea, about the vegetarian Spider who prefers strawberries to flies, and about the Tadpole who becomes a Frog but never forgets his old friends.
These 'fairy tales' will teach the youngest readers not to be afraid to dream and not to be bound by prejudices, and they will remind adults that being kind is really not difficult at all—no matter what happens around them.
