For everyone who values the works of Narine Abgaryan and Tinatin Mzhavanadze.
About school years—through the eyes of a child who later became a teacher. This is a story full of nostalgia, humor, touching and familiar moments.
School is presented as an important stage of life, where every moment can play a key role.
Unpredictable events—from a poem accidentally heard, to the disappearance of a quiet girl—from mispronunciations that change fate, to pastries hidden in shoes and the terrifying face on the school bulletin board. Magic also appears: a ring under the desk, mysterious drawings on a chair, fairy-tale nights, words not said in time, postcards not sent, and birds coming to life and being released from kind hands.
This book invites adults to step into childhood—with its joys, sorrows, strange coincidences, turned-on values, and miracles that seem ordinary, but are always accompanied by a feeling of loneliness.
