In 2012, Housing Cyuer received one of the main awards in children's literature - Astrid Lindgren Prize for piercing realism, crafty humor and visionary Fantasy. All this was connected in the most famous work of the author - the “Book of all things”, in which Cooer skillfully imprints magic into everyday life, speaks simply and honestly about the unhappy childhood and cruelty in the family. At the same time, not forgetting about the most important thing: love, the support of loved ones and faith in themselves. All this gives the heroes forces to fight, even when God is silent in all languages.

In the “Self -Scatter”, this story first came out in 2013. Then very little was talked about domestic violence in Russia, and the book on this topic made a strong impression on readers. And a quote from the “Book of all things” - “To become happy, you just have to stop being afraid” - forever became one of the motto of the publishing house.
