The Life of Wonderful Toys

Everyone knows that toys in a toy store come to life when no one sees them. Only the most attentive visitors may notice a little gray puppy painting a portrait of a saleswoman, Pink Wolf sneaking into the children’s clothing department, or a Plush Hippo peeking at children eating ice cream. Sergey Sedov collected and recorded 16 of the stories from this secret life of one children’s store, where some really great toys live. They make friends, travel, dream and most importantly wait for a child to make him happy.

Illustrations from The Life of Wonderful Toys are among the winners of the 2021 Illustrators Exhibition organized by Bologna Children’s Book Fair.
