Rules of Life

Marcia, a pug, loves following rules. She believes that before meals you must wash your paws, you can’t be late even by a tiny fraction of a second, and things should be neatly hung up in the closet. However, not all the villagers by the Blue Hill share her views.

One day she meets a grasshopper named Fаind, who tells her about the Rules of Life that existed in ancient times and offers Marcia a chance to bring them back. Thrilled, she agrees—but soon life in the village turns into a nightmare. Everything has to be fixed urgently! But how?

Marcia and her friends will have to overcome many trials before they understand: evil can’t be defeated with evil; it leaves only with love. That is the main Rule of Life. By following it, even in the most difficult situations you can find joy and happiness!

A series of fairy-tale books by the well-known writer Daria Dontsova titled “Tales of the Beautiful Valley” is suitable for family reading and can become an occasion for an important conversation with children. Wonderful illustrations make the books an ideal gift, and in each story, besides the exciting plot, there are wise thoughts delivered in a subtle, unobtrusive way.
