The heroes of Nina Dashevskaya's stories escape from the world that adults have imposed on them into their own, which they are just beginning to invent.
"Where have you been?", adults ask them. Dashevskaya's heroes are indeed carried - through their own cities and foreign ones, through the forest and along the sea. In summer, winter and in the off-season. They think so - on foot, and the round-the-world trip from school to home helps to understand a lot. They are surprised by unexpected things and ask strange questions: "Do ants understand that we are looking at them?"; "Are there rafters on the 18th line?" They are open, they notice everything: there is a whole city embroidered on the girl's coat, and a huge man has such a small dog. And the stupid hats simply delight them.
They often have a hard time. Studying, getting along with their parents, fitting into other people's rules, agreeing. And sometimes it's hard to breathe. And the only hope is that one day they will be able to start a mill that will clean the air, and everyone will finally be able to breathe freely.
