Big Little Girl Story 7: Sad Joyful Holiday

Zhenya is a big little girl. On the one hand, she is the youngest in the family, even her beloved dachshund Vetka, and on the other hand, her mother has to stand on a stool every morning to braid her hair. In general, Zhenya is just like all the other seven-year-old girls. She can't stand being looked at or considered special. She can peel potatoes so that the skin turns into thin long ribbons. She can sew on buttons - almost as beautifully as her dad. And she is also great at telling different stories - because something interesting happens to her all the time...
In the seventh book, "A Sad Joyful Holiday," Zhenya and her friend Mishka have to grow up a little more. New Year's is coming, but there is still no snow, and Mishka's grandfather is sick... He lies there, is sad and does not go anywhere. Does that mean New Year's is cancelled? But it is unfair if the grandfather is left without a holiday. Zhenya and Mishka decide: they must come up with something and cheer up the grandfather. How about a Christmas tree lampshade? Or Ten Bags of Joy and Pleasure? Do you think they will succeed?..
Maria Bershadskaya's books about a big little girl tell about Zhenya, who grew taller than the world's tallest basketball player, and about how great and how difficult it is to be different from others. Throughout the twelve books, Zhenya is still growing - she changes, matures. Dad tells her that every person, even if he has already grown up, still has some INNER GROWTH. Zhenya does not yet quite understand what she needs to do for this growth that is inside. Walk in the rain? Sing songs? Eat some useful nastiness? We have not understood this either, but maybe after reading these twelve stories, we will also grow a little?
