When Old Man Winter arrives, the fairies rush to tell the forest animals they must come to a very important meeting. Once there, Old Man Winter offers them all a choice of tails. But Bear falls asleep misses the meeting. What will he do?

This retelling of a traditional Belarusian folktale both captures the spirit of the animals and prompts children's thinking with its question list after the story. Being softly illustrated in the tones of winter, it carries ancient echos even down to today.

The bilingual text is presented in English and Belarusian, a Slavic language deemed vulnerable to endangerment even within Belarus. It is suitable for migrants and their children whether they are learning English or wish to sustain their cultural heritage through their native language.

Hi there! I love using different voices for each character, making every story an exciting adventure. I enjoy bringing themes of adventure, bravery, and imagination to life, often set in magical forests with mythical creatures. Let's embark on whimsical journeys together, where bravery knows no bounds and imagination runs wild!

Carlisle, Jessy: - "Hi, I'm Jessy. I publish books in languages I don't speak so children can read books in languages they do speak. Legends have always fascinated me. Do they give your children a sense of wonder too? As an Australian poet, it's hard to find work in the Outback. But there are children all over the world struggling to learn how to read. Some of them have hardly any books in their native language. That's why I created the Bilingual Legends series - to give as many children as possible the opportunity to read a story in their own native language. Usually, each book in the series is published in the language spoken in the land where that story originates. A typical book also includes the text in English, but in some cases Spanish, Portuguese, German, or another language is used instead. I hope you enjoy reading my books!"

Mathewes, Emmeline: - Emmeline Mathewes has been creating artwork since she was old enough to pick up a pencil. She lives on a small farm in Georgia, US, and when she isn't drawing she enjoys reading, pressing flowers, and making jewelry.

Yauseneva, Valeryia: - Valeryia is a Belarusian translator.
