Siege of Leningrad... Young Katya takes a three-year-old boy under her care, saving him from death. And thanks to this, she herself gains strength to live on.
The story of Tamara Sergeevna Tsinberg tells a surprisingly bright and honest story about the inconspicuous daily exploits of Leningraders and about what the courage of an individual meant during the Great Patriotic War.
In the heartfelt, subtly consonant with the text illustrations by Elena Zhukovskaya, readers will see the stern and strong-willed Katya - a girl with a kind heart and a pure soul, a small, fragile Mitya and a beautiful, unbroken city.
