My first book “Nevidimyi slon” was published in 2013 and was included in the 2017 IBBY Selection of Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities. Since more than 10 my books were published in Russia. One of them, “Kapitan Borsch”, was translated to Ukranian. Also books “Nevidimyi slon” and “Muzyka moego dyatla” were staged in Russian theatres. Some of my books were awarded by Russian awards.

I have experience of meetings in libraries and schools not only in Russia but in Finland too. In my meetings in Finland I usually read my short stories and discuss them so children can listen literary language and can discover new words and sentences that especially important for bilingual children. Also I like to play language games and games by my books so children can have some fun and knowing that reading and creating is cool. And of course I tell about Russia, because I lived in Siberia and in Sankt-Petersburg and some of my books tells about different places in Russia.
