Zhenya is a big little girl. On the one hand, she is the youngest in the family, even her beloved dachshund Vetka, and on the other hand, to braid her hair, her mother has to stand on a stool every morning. In general, Zhenya is exactly the same as all the other seven-year-old girls. She hates being looked at or considered special. She knows how to peel potatoes so that the skin turns into thin long ribbons. She knows how to sew on buttons - almost as beautifully as her dad. And she’s also great at telling different stories - because something interesting happens to her all the time... In the seventh book, “A Sad Joyful Holiday,” Wife and her friend Mishka have a little more to do to mature. New Year is just around the corner, but there is still no snow, and even Mishkin’s grandfather is sick... He lies there, sad and doesn’t go anywhere. So, New Year's is cancelled? But it’s unfair if grandfather is left without a holiday. Zhenya and Mishka decide: they must come up with something and cheer up grandfather. How about a Christmas tree lampshade? And Ten Bags for Joy and Pleasure? Do you think they will succeed?..Maria Bershadskaya's books about a big little girl talk about the Wife who stretched taller than the tallest basketball player in the world, and about how great and how difficult it is to be different from others. Over the course of twelve books, Zhenya is still growing - she is changing, maturing. Dad tells her that every person, even if he has already grown up, still has some kind of INNER GROWTH. It is not yet clear to my wife what needs to be done for this growth that is inside. Walk in the rain? To sing songs? Any useful stuff? We also haven’t realized this yet, but maybe after reading these twelve stories, we will also grow a little? The publishing design is preserved in pdf A4 format.
