A heartwarming and timeless retelling of a traditional Russian folk tale, filled with beautiful illustrations from an award-winning artist, Babushka is a tale of unexpected guests and a selfless act of kindness.

As Babushka busies herself tidying her house, three unexpected guests arrive, claiming to be searching for a baby, the new-born king. Undeterred by the sudden intrusion, Babushka welcomes them and offers them hospitality. As the guests depart, Babushka remains behind, diligently cleaning and tidying, and preparing a gift for the baby.

The following morning, as Babushka sets out to follow the men, she discovers that the snow has covered their tracks, leaving her unsure of the direction to take. Undeterred, she perseveres, determined to find her way. Along her journey, Babushka encounters numerous children who are hungry, cold, or lacking toys. Moved by their plight, she generously shares gifts from her basket, spreading joy and warmth wherever she goes.

Through the beautiful illustrations that evoke folk art traditions and the sensitive storytelling that touches the hearts of readers, Babushka reminds us of the importance of love and compassion during the Christmas season. It is a tale that teaches us that even in the face of adversity, the power of a selfless act can make a profound difference in the lives of others.
