Oleksandr Mykhed's book "The Cat, The Rooster, The Locker" with illustrations by Zhenya Polosina was published by Stary Lev Publishing House. This is a fairy tale for children and adults, in which the Cat, the Rooster and the Locker - rescued and preserved in Borodyanka near Kyiv, destroyed by Russian shelling - are ready to fight and warn of danger. They protect the universe of one family - grandmother Liza, uncle Andriy and grandson Sonya - a family that cycles through history from generation to generation and in the end, becomes stronger than ever.
The South Korean Nami Concours is held as a separate project of the International Children's Book Festival on Nami Island. Its purpose is to encourage artists to be creative and to promote improving the quality of book illustrations. The competition takes place every 2 years and is organized by Nami Island, the official sponsor of the IBBY Hans Christian Andersen Awards.
