​

The idea of ​​this story is very close to me, because here the squirrel

is an artist! Illustrating the plot, I completely got used to the role

of Mary and experienced her story so closely that I unconsciously copied her mood. This story was special to me. In addition to the basics of colour science, the squirrel shares the most important thing: never give up and bring what you started to the end. It was this thought that turned out to be support in a difficult

time for me - I thank Mary for this!

​

This book is written originaly in Russian and is aimed at children between 2 to 7 years old. The book has additional worksheets with exercises that help practise the acquired knowledge.
