Childhood is a time when something magical appears in life. Some have a talking bicycle, some have an abandoned giant village, and still others have a friend, a very, very tall girl who bakes the most delicious cookies. Sevka, the hero of Nina Dashevskaya's story "Willy," has all of these things. He, like all children, dreams of true friendship, believes in miracles, and they inevitably happen to him. Well, of course, it's not just miracles that happen to him, but Sevka never loses heart. He's certain that in the end, magic always triumphs over any adversity! Especially when there's a bicycle named Willy nearby.

Nina Dashevskaya is a musician and writer, a 2020 IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People) Honor Roll Diploma recipient, a two-time winner of the Kniguru All-Russian Competition, and a 2014 winner of the V. Krapivin Prize for her story "Willy."

This edition of this beloved book is special. The fairy tale "Willy" has been translated into several foreign languages and was published in Italy with illustrations by Lucrezia Buganè. We loved them so much that we decided to have two editions of "Willy" simultaneously—one with illustrations by Evgenia Dvoskina and one with illustrations by Lucrezia. It's wonderful to have choice.
