About the book: 1966 / Our big country. And children of different nations live in it. Each nation has its own customs, its own language. But children living in different parts of our country have a lot in common. I wanted to talk about this common and different thing in my book. Its heroes were a boy from Khakassia and a girl from Moscow. A little Kazakh girl and twin sisters from an Armenian village in the Caucasus. And a black man whose name is Vanya. I love these girls and boys. I believe that they will grow into real people. I hope you love them too…
