In a quiet, beautiful place, among forests and lakes, there once lived a Mountain. Sometimes tourists would climb the Mountain. They would sing beautiful songs, and the Mountain would quietly sing along. But one day, machines and cranes appeared at its foot and people began to build houses and factories. People settled in the new city, dotting the slopes of the Mountain with advertisements, and erecting a TV tower on the top. The Mountain became uncomfortable, and it left. For a long time, it wandered in search of a quiet place: it visited the north and the south, underground and in the mountains, in the sea and in the desert. But it could not find peace anywhere on Earth, and so it took off and flew away to a distant planet. And now it feels very good there!
It was not by chance that writer Stanislav Vostokov wrote a story about a mountain that was so tired of people that she decided to escape into space. He has been protecting nature all his life: in his school years he was a young naturalist at the Tashkent Zoo, when he grew up he saved rare animals in Cambodia, worked at the Institute of Environmental Protection, and wrote articles for the Red Book.
Artist Maxim Pokalev created a living image of the Mountain, saw and drew its extraordinary journey. The illustrations will take the little reader to all the natural zones of the Earth, make him fly above the clouds, dive to the ocean floor, go underground and look into space. There are so many details in the colorful illustrations and black and white comic-style pictures that they are very interesting to look at.
This beautiful and clever picture book will help awaken your child's desire to care for their home planet.
