About This Book: Long ago birds have found their place in the Ukrainian culture, both in the applied arts and in folklore and folk music. This book by Vira Manko is dedicated to this oldest and most common animal motif, as well to the tradition of meeting of the spring season and its material manifestation in the form of "lark baking". The author as well as the publisher of this book wish to bring this old tradition back to life with an intent to teach Ukrainian children to be happy about nature and the environment.
The book is suitable for reading in families and schools.
