The Winter Painter

Text by Nina Dashevskaya, illustrated by Yulia Sidneva

What is a winter wonder nowadays? Simple and real, without elves or Santa.
Everyone can have their own wonder if the wish is strong and sincere. Even if it’s just some snow on New Year’s Eve.

This is an illustrated short story about winter wonders for children and adults. It’s the end of
December and it’s time for a winter holiday mood which one can feel much stronger if it’s snowing. But it’s not snowing. To be more accurate, it’s heavily snowing just in one and only quarter on the outskirts of the city. But this contradicts all the rules of nature. How could it be?
