These stories were originally created by Lyudmila Ulitskaya for her children, and many years later, her grandchildren also enjoyed them. They learned about the old tram dreaming of the sea, the vegetarian Spider who prefers strawberries over flies, and the Tadpole who becomes a Frog but never forgets old friends.

These "fairy tales" will teach young readers not to be afraid to dream and not to be bound by prejudices. For adults, they serve as a reminder that being kind is not difficult, no matter what is happening around them.
