        The Owl Who Wanted To Become a Lark

        by Halyna Vdovychenko (Author), Khrystyna Lukashcuk (Illustrator)

        The Owl Who Wanted To Become a Lark tells the story of two birds and their sleeping habits. Each of them has their own lifestyle, one nocturnal, one diurnal. But what would happen if one day owls were to hunt in the morning, and larks were to sing at night? How would they adapt to each other? And would the different lifestyles become a threat to their friendship? This book demonstrates that we are all different but equally beautiful. A lark is no better than an owl, and vice versa; differences like these are not an obstacle to a true friendship.   From 3 to 8 years, 1757 words Rightsholders: booksxxi@gmail.com

When Severin came to his grandmother's village for the summer, Goat tried to ram him. But then - quite unexpectedly - he became the boy's best friend. Now Severin is not afraid of Goat anymore. Severin gives to Goat the most delicious carrots from his grandmother's garden, and bends the branches of a maple tree for him, because his new friend likes new leaves so much! In return, Goat pushes Severin and his friend on the swing, and makes them laugh with his antics. And one day he even saved a bird that fell out of the nest... Together with Severin, little readers will learn step by step the secrets of a world that opens up to you if you are not afraid to go outside of Grandma's gate for the first time!   From 6 to 8 years, 13006 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko, ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua
