Description
Children’s writer Irina Mikhailovna Pivovarova was born in 1939 in Moscow to a doctor’s family. Her father wanted her to become a doctor as well. However, Ira loved poetry from childhood, drew beautifully, and after finishing school entered the Moscow Textile Institute, faculty of applied arts. After the institute, Pivovarova worked for several years at Mosfilm as an artist-decorator, where she met her future husband, Viktor Pivovarov. Together they did a great deal for children’s literature. Her first short stories appeared in a high-circulation newspaper, while her children’s poems first ran in the magazine “Fun Pictures,” and Viktor Pivovarov created all the illustrations for them. Pivovarova’s works were very popular with children in the 1970s–80s. The most famous include short-story and novella collections: “A three with a minus,” or “An Incident in Grade 5 A,” “The Stories of Lucy Sinitsyna, a Third-Grader,” “The Stories of Pavlik Pomidorov, Lucy Sinitsyna’s Brother,” and “Once Katya and Manechka”; poetry collections: “Once There Was a Dog,” “A Wreath of Bells,” “I Want to Fly,” “Forest Conversations,” “A Bird Got Lost in the Sky,” and “Only for Children.” Animated films were made based on Irina Pivovarova’s poems: “The Giraffe and the Glasses” and “One White Little Horse.”
