Poet Mikhail Yasnov is one of the leading children's poets of our time, the curator of numerous poetry and literary festivals, the compiler of anthologies of contemporary children's poetry, and the mentor and patron of many wonderful young poets. The anniversary collection, 'Rain Day,' was the last for Mikhail Davidovich Yasnov, a man of the era. The book is both sad and lighthearted, filled with childhood memories and a longing for carefree times, when Mom and Dad were nearby, friends on scooters awaited in the yard, and Grandma baked delicious pancakes in the kitchen. These touching and profound poems reveal the soul of a child growing up before our eyes. Both children and adults will enjoy the book: it is filled with kindness, warmth, empathy, and love—for life, for people, for children. Especially to those who live within us.
