touching, childishly a direct story about blockade days-those that little Misha sees them, who remained with his parents in the besieged Leningrad, not only reveals to the reader the signs of time and tells, “how it was,” but also teaches to be strong. He teaches to be proud of real heroes: Mishkina’s mother, who herself can clench the high -explosive bomb, or policeman Ivan Fedorovich Plinchik, who, no matter what happens, does not abandon his post. Yes, and Mishka himself and his friends who decided to give performances for the wounded soldiers to support them - why not heroes?
