The Siege of Leningrad... Young Katya takes a three-year-old boy under her care, saving him from death. And thanks to this, she herself finds the strength to go on living.
Tamara Sergeyevna Tsinberg’s novella tells a strikingly bright and honest story about the quiet, daily heroism of the people of Leningrad and what individual courage truly meant during the Great Patriotic War.
Through Elena Zhukovskaya's poignant illustrations, which are delicately in tune with the text, readers will see a stern and determined Katya—a girl with a kind heart and a pure soul—the small, fragile Mitya, and the beautiful, unbroken city.
