„Once we, Petka and I...“ are stories about the friendship of two 7-years-old boys who live in St. Petersburg and can turn everything into a game: puddles, ice drift, umbrellas, street signs and even a quarrel! I wanted to show how the game makes life more joyful. Especially with a friend who is ready to play together. I really want that every reader of this book will feel the same joy—joy of understanding each other. Every story begins with the words „Once we, Petka and I...“—and what did one day happen to you and your friend?
