        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

        Four Seasons Of Love

        by Nacarid Portal

        In this book, the author leads us through a mirror of emotions, which shows us a path full of ups and downs, where the only option you have is to face the ghosts of the past and move on with life, that life which is filled with both pain and love. Four Seasons of Love is an inward journey that goes beyond the very limits we set ourselves. It is about getting to know your true self again, and be able to find the ability to love your scars. It is about accepting death as a part of life, and that love is not something that has to stay with us to be eternal. Christopher is a singer and a young music composer who is about to release an album with his band. His life revolved around parties, alcohol and luxuries after the death of his twin brother. He writes his feelings in a diary as a way to exorcise his pain. And that diary holds the key to the story of his Ijfe, and the way he lost Matias in a tragic accident, which ultimately led him to emotional isolation. It is a realistic novel that has captured the attention of thousands of people, as many could relate to the characters and the love story between Christopher and Charlotte. As he, who wasn't used to the feeling of romantic love, and whose life's motto was"Love me today, cuz III leave you tomorrow," fell in love with someone who was  involved with someone, and whose interest in him was rather for economic and emotional stability than true love.
