ABOUT THE STORY:

Kolobok is a little round bun with big plans: escaping from Grandma and Grandpa, he sets off on an adventure through the big green forest, meeting colorful, delightful characters along the way. First-time children’s book author and illustrator Natasha Bochkov retells the classic fable beloved by generations of Russian children to a new, international audience. This is a story about bravery and cunning, but also about the foolish consequences of irresponsibility, and Ms. Bochkov has made the characters come alive to tell their perilous tale.

Especially keeping in mind the unique demands of multilingual families, a team of dedicated translators and focus groups collaborated in the retelling of the original story into modern Russian, English, Spanish, and Chinese. We hope you and your children cherish and enjoy Kolobok as much as we enjoyed writing it!"
