Yuma the Baby Seal and Drakonich: kind fairy tales for children presented at the Exposition

---

"The Big Book of Fairy Tales. 89 Fairy Tale Characters of Russia" is a book that collects unique heroes from all over the country — from Donetsk People's Republic to Kamchatka. The work contains coloring sheets, stickers and puzzles — they will help young readers better learn the characteristics of the peoples of Russia and understand what unites all the inhabitants of a large country.

This and other modern good books for children were presented at the RUSSIA EXPO. They were presented by Vladek Darman, head of the Red Square publishing house, and Marina Yakovleva, Merited Artist of Russia.

"Since ancient times fairy tales have been a tool for the transfer of knowledge and experience of generations. This is how parents explained to children the essence of good and evil, taught them to be friends and help. The main feature of the books is that the characters traditional for different peoples and regions of Russia are presented in the context of modern times. They live in the same world as our young readers. Therefore, it will be easy for kids from any corner of the country to find in these kind stories heroes for imitation and book friends," said Vladek Darman.

The Exposition presents two more unique projects. One of them allows Siberian legends to come to life on the pages of the book "Tales of Baikal. How Mother Ailu put Yuma the Baby Seal to Sleep". This book continues the famous movie "Baikal. The Amazing Adventures of Yuma" about the seal's journey to the Ushkan Islands. The book is filled with parental love and family values.

"For me and my family, the Baikal tales play a crucial role. When I was a little girl, my mother used to tell me legends about the sacred lake. Then I told the same legends to my children and now to my grandson. This book was a discovery for me and allowed me to reconnect to the tales of my small homeland," shared Marina Yakovleva after reading to the guests of the presentation an excerpt of the fairy tale.

The third presented book was "Drakonich: One Head is Good, and Three is Better". The collection contains ten instructive fairy tales about Drakonich. He has three heads, each of them with its own personality and corresponding names — Sturdy, Funny and Clever. Drakonich lives the same life as all children: celebrates his birthday, goes to school, makes friends and gets into different situations. The book teaches friendship, help and the most important things in life.

You can buy books in Pavilion No. 75. The RUSSIA EXPO is open from 10:00 to 21:00 from Tuesday to Thursday and from 10:00 to 22:00 from Friday to Sunday. Monday is a technical day.
