(Russian) Юбка, простирающаяся до конца света
"Если одеть юбку, сможет ли она покрыть всю землю?" - думает маленькая девочка. Она спрашивает тоже самое у цветов и листьев: "А твоя юбка может достичь краев света?" Каждый полученный девочкой ответ поэтичен, похож на стихотворение и выражает мечту жизни каждого существа. Все эти истории включают в себя образ женщин, которые прожили красивой наполненной смыслом жизнью. И это становится второй стороной ответа на вопрос девочки. Это великолепная иллюстрированная книга о путешествии девочки, которая преодолевает своей силой воли все ограничения, заключающиеся в юбке.

(English) The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World
A girl asks to wear a skirt. “Does this skirt spread to the end of the world?” The girl enters to nature to find answers and asks her nature friends sitting on skirt-shaped trees, flowers or so on. "Does your skirt spread to the end of the world?" Nobody answers "Yes." They depict the dreams, limitations of their lives like a poem. The girl can also see pictures of heroines who have happily and wonderfully lived their lives in stories on their skirts. She tries to find her way with conversation and images that she has faced. Finally, the girl can draw her own beautiful skirt that spreads to the end of the world.
