yuri borisovich norshteyn, a wonderful person, creator of hedgehogs of the fog and many other works, well and speaks about it periodically, he always says that you always need to remain a child, to look at the world with such curiosity, and when i grew up, became a big adult, i realized that i can do it by itself, that is, i go i notice some, i don’t know, there’s a beautiful tree, there’s something reflected in a puddle, that is... i’m not a little explorer who walks through familiar places every day, but sees something, something special, at every age a book is interesting in its own way, that ’s what the magic of a children’s book is in your opinion, the magic of a book in general, well, for me i can say again from my experience that i always thought that a book is something, for some reason it’s so small flat, but nevertheless you open it, and there is just... a whole world in it, each time a different world, that is, i was very impressed by this, and it seems to me that you open it, and you don’t know what will be there, this is also a kind of such a journey, an exploration. tod
