MR. TOUCAN’S LETTERS FROM FRANCE
by Kateryna Perkonos
Mr. Toucan used to live in a zoo. He had loved reading since he was little. Stories about faraway lands made him decide to visit them at any cost. He trained diligently for a long time; he became strong and able to unbend the bars of his cage, and escape from the zoo. Mr. Toucan has been travelling the world ever since. He visits various corners of the world, and from wherever he is, he sends postcards to "Mamino" publishing house. This is how "Letters from Mr. Toucan" began. This book has letters from France. "Bonjour", writes the travelling bird from the country that smells of lavender and freshly baked croissants, where couples in love walk under the rain, and where you can have breakfast simply on the grass on a sunny day.
