Children's & YA
Description
When he can't fall asleep, Zakhar imagines other people around him sleeping and gazes at the house across the street. Often, a window in the house flashes with light, so the boy imagines that the house is actually a lighthouse. Furthermore, there is a reason why Zakhar can't fall asleep: his father, an architect, doesn't sleep either. To help his son fall asleep, the father suggests a tried-and-tested method: counting. So, what will they count? Will Zakhar manage to fall asleep?
