The book is intended for younger children and combines short stories with gentle humor and helpful observations about nature. Together with the Hedgehog, young readers learn how to behave in the forest, gather mushrooms, interact with woodland inhabitants, and cope with unexpected situations.

The print run was 1,000 copies, a substantial portion of which was donated to parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church for Sunday schools and church shops. Another portion of the books was put up for sale for charitable purposes in chain bookstores.

Supporting children's reading is one of the socio-cultural initiatives of «Alliance Legal». We are pleased that, thanks to this project, kind and informative stories will reach children and families in different cities!

• Semyon Raduga also writes children's poems, stories, and works of a spiritual and moral nature. You can find his work on the literary portal «Izba-Chitalnya». A new collection by the author is planned for publication with the support of «Alliance Legal» — «Tales and Short Stories of an Old Monk».
