        Tukoni, the Forest Friends

        by Oksana Bula

        All night a thunderstorm raged in the woods. The tukoni named Wanderer was sleeping and didn’t notice anything, but was awoken by the alarm signal that came from his best friend, the tree. Tukoni the Wanderer convenes the other tukoni, including Moth, who is making a magical comforter. The tukoni gather together and save Wanderer’s best friend, the tree that was struck by lightning during the night. The book has the title that it does because it’s about friendship with the place where you live. People live on the planet Earth. Tukoni live in the forest. For the tukoni, the forest isn’t a fortress, a place of work, or their property. The tukoni are friends with each other, but each and every of them is also a friend of the forest, the place where they live. It’s important to treat the place where you live as a friend.

        Bison Looks for a Nest

        by Oksana Bula (Author), Oksana Bula (Illustrator)

        Once upon a time a bison met a bear. Winter was coming and he asked the bear where he could get food since everything was covered with snow. The bear answered that he didn’t eat in the winter. Instead he usually went into a deep sleep. Every year at the same time the Tukonis, the magical forest inhabitants, would put him to sleep in a den and wake him up at springtime. The bison was amazed. He had never slept all though the winter and couldn’t even imagine that other animals did. How wonderful it would be to sleep in a cozy nest rather than roam around in the snow searching for food! The bison decided that the Tukonis should put him to bed as well.   From 3 to 6 years, 407 words Rightsholders: ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua
