Yes! I had that too! — you will exclaim when you open this book. A biting sweater, film slides, a wall newspaper, a net, collecting scrap paper, transfer pictures, a plywood box of parcels, and a sealing wax stamp. The heroes of this book beat carpets in the yard, boil condensed milk, iron their pioneer ties, avoid stepping on cracks in the asphalt, measure the depth of puddles in spring. And they send each other signals under the windows: “Will Sasha come out?”. For several years, Evgenia Dvoskina mentally transported herself to her Soviet childhood and made sketches from nature. More than a hundred recognizable and touching plots have accumulated. Over time, each sketch was supplemented by magnificent text — precise, vivid, concise, and ironic. And now the pictures and stories have gathered under one cover to meet the reader. How cozy and fun it will be for the whole family to dive into memories of their own similar experiences. And for those younger, the book will show and tell how their parents, grandfathers, and grandmothers lived.
