About «Mayechka»:

«Mayechka» is a book for children and adults based on real events. It tells the story of a little stray dog who was lucky enough to find a home. Before our eyes, Maya turns from a lonely animal into a full-fledged family member. In addition to Maya, the book features five other real-life dogs and eight cats who live with her in a country house in a village near Kyiv. The book is imbued with positivity, love for the four-legged friends, and a description of their funny habits. In addition, «Mayechka» is not only a story for reading. The book includes 16 tear-off postcards of various themes, which can be a great gift for any holiday."

The book was created by a talented Kyiv artist - Polina Doroshenko. She is known to the Ukrainian reader for her illustrations for Tatiana Korobkova's book Mice in Cheese (Laurus Publishing House, 2013) and for the artistic design of Lesya Ukrainka's Forest Song (Osnovy Publishing House, 2014). The book was included in the prestigious international catalogue The White Ravens 2014. While working on The T-shirt, Polina got to know the main characters, looked through numerous photos of pets and made every effort to ensure that her illustrations conveyed the character of each of the book's characters.

The author of the text is a journalist and art critic Yulia Laktionova. She is the curator of the Nebo art school lecture series and the author of lecture courses for children on art history at the Nebo art gallery. Yulia has created an easy-to-understand story that will be interesting for audiences of all ages, as it deals with both the main concepts in people's lives and the peculiarities of our communication with animals.

The convenient and concise format of the book did not allow writing in detail about all the animals, so the page «T-shirts» was created on the web (www.maechka-book.com). Visitors can see photos of dogs and cats mentioned in the text about Mayechka. In addition to the photos, each of the characters has their own habits and whims, a unique story, which is presented in the form of a dossier. Mayechka's story is just one of them.
