A high-quality bilingual picture book in English and Russian, ideal for bilingual families and kids who are learning English or Russian as a second language.

This book has been entered into the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. It has been professionally translated, and illustrated by Lena Krapiva in her unique style that combines soft, bright watercolours with gentle textures and expressive faces. Complimentary activities and lesson plans are available on the author’s website.

Written by June Antson, a language teacher and educator with 10 years’ experience, the text helps to support early bilingual readers and children learning English or Russian as a second language with clear sentences, natural phrasing, and emotional vocabulary that invites conversation.

What children will gain:

• Name and talk about feelings using clear, child-level language and gentle metaphors (water, fish, weather).
• Regulate emotions with simple tools shown in the story: pause, breathe, wait — storms pass.
• Develop self-acceptance and empathy: “I can be different” — many feelings belong to the same me.
• Anya doesn't believe in magic… until she meets a talking frog and a thousand mysterious fish. Follow her into the pond — and into a dreamy, emotional journey for children learning Russian or growing up bilingual.
