A fairy tale about the creation of the world. The language of the tale is simple, but the well-read reader discovers gradually the individual layers of the text and hidden meanings. Its various layers and deep thoughtful message predetermine this piece not only for a child recipient. Deep thoughts are embodied in beautiful metaphors. The text of the fairy tale is filled up with panhuman ethical principles that go beyond the borders of the Christian world: it depicts the victory of a man over spiritual emptiness and own ambition. Even though this piece of work is "difficult to comprehend" due to its idea reference, which is found in the books designed for an older recipient usually, it remains available even for the youngest reader. The book was awarded The Most Beautiful Children's Book and The Best Children's Book of the Autumn 2014.
