A boy who could turn into a vacuum cleaner, stories from the life of the Moscow Zoo, funny and stupid poems about school and other wonderful stories from modern children's writers
If you are not a regular at book sites and festivals, then it may seem that they still haven’t come up with anything better than Nosov, Rybakov and Bulychev for children. Meanwhile, children's literature in Russia is developing well. New books, competitions and authors appear every day. Journalist Lisa Birger chose 10 modern writers, whose books can be safely placed on bookshelf in the nursery.
SERGEY SEDOV
Sergei Sedov is one of those writers who fascinate when meeting in person no less than when meeting with his texts - such a real modern storyteller, a person not tied to space and time, former teacher and a Moscow janitor, whose fairy tales we started reading back in the 80s. I can’t count how many times these fairy tales - about the boy Lesha, about the frog Pipa, about kings, about fools - were forgotten and published recent years thirty, and they still sound stunningly new. Sedov has a wonderful style of light writing; it seems that everything he touches turns into an exciting game, which is impossible not to join. But the main thing about Sedov is the endless freedom of his imagination, completely childish in spirit, his signature oddity, thanks to which he can allow his heroes to amazingly transform into a vacuum cleaner and balloon, and in his fairy tales about mothers he allows himself to show a drunkard mother and an indifferent mother. All of these are manifestations of the same touching concern, but in different ways. There was a time when Sedov was published a little more and better, but now, unfortunately, it’s not easy to find either his horror stories or a wonderfully funny retelling ancient greek myths"Hercules." 12 great feats. An eyewitness account", not even his New Year's tale“How Santa Claus was born,” written in collaboration with Marina Moskvina. Nevertheless, “Tales about Lyosha” are always on sale - Sedov is classic in all respects, causing equal delight among parents and children.
MARIA BERSHADSKAYA
VGIK graduate and screenwriter Maria Bershadskaya, who worked, among other things, on “Sesame Street,” invented and wrote probably the best children’s series in modern Russian literature, the “Big Little Girl” series of books. Its heroine, Zhenya, is a seven-year-old girl, tall beyond her years (so tall that her mother has to stand on a stool to braid her hair), who remains, despite high growth, a small child inside. And every situation from Zhenya’s life is another story maturation and inner growth, be it a story about death loved one, O school novel, about holidays and losses, about uncomfortable and in their own way tragic situations in which every child can find themselves. A brilliant invention - to see in one image, as in children's world combines the extreme and the ordinary, the small and the big, the feeling of absolute insecurity in front of the world and daily victories over its obstacles. This situation of both fairy-tale detachment and realistic empathy, the author’s sympathy for the hero’s big and small sufferings is what makes Bershadskaya’s books so understandable and attractive.
STANISLAV VOSTOKOV
A great lover of animals, Stanislav Vostokov dreamed of following in the footsteps of Gerald Durrell since childhood - he dreamed and did. Already at the age of fifteen, he published his translations from Darrell in the Tashkent newspaper “Pioneer of the East” and, while studying at art school, drew elephants and cranes. From Tashkent he went to protect nature in Cambodia, and from there he did an internship at the International Conservation Training Center founded by Darrell on the island of Jersey. Afterwards he worked at the Moscow Zoo and at the Research Center for Nature Conservation, and talked about all this in his books. Although we fell in love with Vostokov precisely for the genre of stories about animals (see “Do not feed or tease” about the Moscow Zoo and the book “The Island Dressed in Jersey”), about which he knows how to speak simply, with understanding and sympathy, he has perfectly mastered and other genres, and to date has received every conceivable children's award. For example, for a book of stories about Frosya Korovina, “a real village woman of seven years old” from the village of Papanovo, Vologda region, or a series of airy ones, inspired more by Yuri Koval than by the masters village prose, stories about the village way of life “Godfather to the King”, and about birds and animals that can be seen almost from the window.
ARTHUR GIVARGIZOV
The aesthetic homeland of Arthur Givargizov is Soviet school prose, everything that is dear and beloved, from Nosov to Dragunsky. Only he feels much freer in both plots and language, so that some nervous parents scold him for being uneducational (parents who don’t understand jokes or demand that morality comes first in a children’s book are the main enemies of children’s prose). In fact, in light of the achievements of world child psychology, according to which what is important for children should be play, not textbooks, freedom of imagination, not cramming, Givargizov is exactly the writer needed to create an atmosphere of total laughter and fun. He never fails, and although many of his poems and stories seem like jokes, games, their important theme invariably becomes the search for freedom in any given situation, be it conversations with adults, school lessons or long journeys. If you don’t know that the Earth has gravity, you can take off and fly, and if you don’t want to write a dictation, then you can run away into the forest and instead of yourself, slip the teacher a bear and a wolf, so that they, quarreling and copying from each other like real hooligans, diligently deduce “Her voice rang and trembled like a cracked glass bell.”
Givargizov, fortunately, is published uninterruptedly, and all his books are very good - from him alone you can make an excellent home library. But it makes sense for parents not to miss, while they still have it, the book “From Grandfather’s to Children’s,” where linguist Maxim Krongauz discusses the stories and poems of Arthur Givargizov while reading them with his grandchildren.
TAMARA MIKHEEVA
Tamara Mikheeva is a professional children's writer. This means that she is equally good at picture books about animals and teen stories like Dolphin Children. These are invariably kind, invariably bright books, populated by wonderful magical creatures. In modern children's prose, Tamara Mikheeva plays the role of the main storyteller: living trees grow in her mountains (“Light Mountains”), magical gnomes live in her forests (“Asha’s Summer”), and her shumsa, the inhabitants of the trees, have become one of the best children’s science fiction TV series In general, impeccable stories for children who are just learning to read and love books, and parents who want these books to be only about magic and kindness - it’s as if no other world exists for Mikheeva at all.
MARINA AROMSHTAM
Educator, psychologist and specialist children's reading Maria Aromshtam was engaged in writing until the mid-2000s educational books about pedagogy for adults and teaching aids for children beginning to read. But since her story “When Angels Rest” won the Cherished Dream Award in 2008, Aromstam has become not only one of our favorite writers, but also the main promoter of children's books. The Papmambook website, which she invented, exists precisely to help parents read books with their children. Over the past ten years, Marina Aromshtam has built up a solid bibliography and has already become a classic modern literature. Moreover, I would like to use the word “classic” here for the unobtrusive instructiveness of her texts, for which we are accustomed to appreciating the books of our childhood, or better yet, for the freedom of thought and feeling that these books invariably promise. She feels equally confident in different topics and genres, be it a realistic story about school life(“When the angels rest”), historical story from England of the 14th century (“Lancelot the Cat and the Golden City. Old English history"), fairy tales and myths about the birth of the world ("Once Upon a Time in a New World") or picture books for children ("Zheludenok"). Whatever she writes, it is always about the therapeutic effect of reading and storytelling - exactly what many ordered.
MARIA BOTEVA
The first book of fairy tales by Maria Boteva “Light ABC. Two sisters, two winds" was published by the publishing house NLO in 2005 - at the same time it received the "Triumph" award and was included in the shortlists of "Debut" and " Cherished dream" We didn’t hear about her for quite a long time after that, until she was rediscovered by the Compass Guide publishing house, and then it became clear that Boteva is, first of all, an accurate, faithful and attentive writer teenage life. Two books of her stories, “Ice Cream in Waffle Cups” (2013) and “You Walk on the Carpet” (2016) are some kind of joyful acquisition for any children's library. Because the main theme here is not some exceptional sorrows of teenage life, but, on the contrary, the most recognizable things about it, conversations, feelings, daily experiences. So, in the new book “You Walk on the Carpet” the main characters drink tea, chatter tongue twisters, hang around doing nothing, but it is this “Summer is boring again, just a piece of melancholy” that becomes an incredibly rich plot for it. It's such a stunning, heartfelt insight into teenage life that it can help even an adult remember what it was like. To imagine why this is so good, just read.
ASIA PETROVA
A graduate of the Sorbonne, a wonderful translator from French, the wife of one of the best contemporary children's poets Mikhail Yasnov and, above all, a wonderful children's author. Proven, if you like, even by literary awards - Petrova has them whole bouquet, from the first Kniguru award for the collection of stories “Wolves on Parachutes” and the Marshak Award to the short lists of “Debut” and “Baby-NOS”. The main thing in Asa Petrova, however, is the ability to speak with a teenager in his language, to immerse himself in the world of his experiences, where literally everything becomes an existential question - from the reluctance to put on leggings to the fear that the grandmother will die. Collection of stories “Wolves on parachutes. Adults Are Silent,” combining stories for middle schoolers and thoughtful and sympathetic prose about teenagers, represents everything beautiful, scary, sad, and absurd that ordinary teenage life is made of.
NINA DASHEVSKAYA
Writer Nina Dashevskaya has already received three literary prize“Kniguru”, despite the fact that she published her first story in 2011. A musician by training, she graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in violin and now plays in the orchestra of the Theater. Natalia Sats. And her first books, including “Around Music,” were dedicated to the enormous change that the sound of music can make in life little man. This is generally main topic Dashevskaya's teenage prose is a way out of darkness into light, a magical change that is guaranteed to help get rid of loneliness and unhappiness. A sad boy will become cheerful, a lonely teenager will have friends, a child with ADHD will find understanding, everyone will be welcome happy end. Considering how simply and joyfully these books are written, it is not surprising that children - and adults too - enjoy them so much.
NATALIA EVDOKIMOVA
In some other world, where fantasy, for example, would not be considered a minor genre in literature, Natalya Evdokimova would become a big literary star - it is difficult to find an author who would feel so free in this topic. Her dystopia "The End of the World" tells about a world that changes entirely from time to time. Its laws are strange, bizarre and sometimes even repressive, but the belief remains that one day one of the worlds will turn out to be the one you invented. At all new book“Kimka&Company” talks about a boy who flew away from his parents staring at the TV into imaginary worlds, and travels through them, taking his newborn brother with him. And there is also a very simple, piercing intonation “Summer Smells of Salt”, whose teenage heroes break free to summer and the sea from the protracted winter and captivity of high-rise buildings. In general, this is a necessary injection of fantasy from boring and sometimes difficult everyday life - and just very good literature.

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was born on May 26 (June 6, new style) 1799 in Moscow. This is where he spent his childhood.
In the summer, Pushkin was taken to Zakharyino, his grandmother’s village near Moscow. The boy loved these places: the birch grove that began right at the gate of Zakharya’s house - they drank tea here on hot days - and the huge linden tree by the pond, and the dark spruce forest on its other bank. He played here, imagining himself as a hero fighting evil forces. And in the evenings he listened to cheerful and sad Russian songs, looked at the round dances led by peasant girls.

3. What places did little Sasha like?
Parents did not care much for their children. Sergei Lvovich, the poet’s father, thought little about home and raising children. Nadezhda Osipovna, the poet’s mother, a beautiful society woman, was busy only with herself. The real mistress of the Pushkin house was the poet’s grandmother, Maria Alekseevna Hannibal, an intelligent, efficient and sensible woman. She loved her grandson very much. And the child, who did not know parental affection, became attached to her with all his heart. He loved listening to her quiet stories. I loved the fairy tales of my nanny Arina Rodionovna. With her melodious voice, she took the child into such a dazzling world of folk fantasy, sang such amazing songs that the boy forgot about the world around him. My father had an excellent library, mainly in French. The child greedily reached for the book. Secretly from adults, he sneaks into bookcases at night and reads by candlelight. Reading has become a passion.

It's time to start studying, but tutors and governesses are not kept in the house. Pushkin did not like his teachers; they did not know how to interest him. However, the child had a brilliant memory, which helped him learn the given lesson, repeating it after his sister Olga.
In the eighth year of his life he begins to write. From his pen come fables, comic poems, and comedies. He alone “acts out” his comedy “The Kidnapper” in front of his sister. He writes short poems in the albums of neighboring young ladies. Adults do not attach importance to the boy's poetic exercises.
By the age of twelve, Pushkin, in general, was far ahead of his peers in development. He, according to his brother, “was gifted with an incredible memory and at the eleventh year he already knew by heart all French literature" However, this did not stop him from running and jumping over chairs, deftly throwing the ball, that is, remaining a twelve-year-old playful boy. He loved native nature, folk tales and songs, he loved his grandmother, his nanny, he loved Yusupov’s garden and Zakharyino, he loved books.

Elena Aleksandrovna Blagininaborn on May 27, 1903 in the village of Yakovlevo, Oryol province. She grew up as a simple village girl who could not even imagine that she would someday become a famous children's poetess. At the age of 8 she composed a play for home theater, from the same time she composed poems and fairy tales. The main characters of her works are girls.
Her father was a cashier, her grandfather was a priest, and Elena herself was going to become a teacher. The desire to teach children was so great that she was ready to walk seven kilometers every day from her home in the village to the Kursk Pedagogical Institute.
Elena Blaginina had eight brothers and sisters. They lived with their parents and grandmother, who told a lot of fairy tales. I recited poems by A.S. Pushkin.
Elena Blaginina lived quite a life long life, and there wasn’t a day when she didn’t work. She dedicated her entire life to bringing joy to children through her works. Her poems were different: funny and interesting, childish and playful.
