An illustrated gift edition about winter in Rus'. Customs and traditions, interesting facts about the time when frost froze rivers and snow blanketed streets and houses with a white blanket. A fascinating ethnographic journey that will help you understand how our ancestors prepared for winter, organized their lives, and spent long winter evenings. Each chapter is complemented by an activity that allows children to conduct their own scientific research and feel like true scientists.
What did our ancestors eat, what did they use for heating, and how did they spend long winter evenings? Ethnographer Nadezhda Adamovich uses simple, engaging language to describe winter in Rus', the rituals and traditions of this harsh time of year. You will learn what signs helped predict the weather, what foods sustained people during the cold, what they wore, how they whiled away their winter evenings, and much more.
The book introduces history in an interactive format: children, either with their parents or independently, solve riddles, learn about customs, and even try their hand at being explorers. At the end of each chapter, there's a short task that will help them immediately apply their knowledge in practice.
The author's figurative language and vibrant illustrations bring the past to life, while unusual facts and practical tasks transform learning history into a fascinating family journey.
