The Amulet of Good

“The Amulet of Good” opens a new author’s series of books for children, “Tales of the Beautiful Valley.” This is the story of a homeless dog named “Poshlavon,” who, thanks to a new friend, ends up in the magical world of the Beautiful Valley, where she finds not only new friends, but also a family. But on the way to happiness, they will have to overcome many difficulties. Young readers, together with fairy-tale characters, learn how to be friends, how to love, how to empathize, how to help. The kind, bright humor present in all of Darya Dontsova’s books will make kids— and even their parents—laugh from the heart at the funny characters.

A kind, sincere, positive fairy tale novella can cheer up even the grumpiest child, make even the most irritated one smile, and give happiness to the saddest. It is perfectly suited for parents and children to read together. Darya Dontsova’s lighthearted, childlike approach to life makes the novella so understandable and close to kids. And vivid illustrations by artist Yulia Semitko will open for everyone the amazing, magical world of the Beautiful Valley.
