Polina Frantsuzova: Author's note

Once I turned off the highway to pass along a beautiful quiet road on Koh Phangan and met a small bird. Watching how Ptyuch lives in the wild, how he walks, sleeps, eats, peels feathers, I saw not a "chicken" in the usual sense of the word, but a BIRD, smart and affectionate. Our work on this book took the whole year from the moment of its idea born in a cafe when meeting with Larisa for the first time. It was such a journey from start to finish. I even grew up and progressed in my skill drawing illustrations and was ready to redraw everything, but I realized that then it would not be me, Polina, who was a year ago. The first part of the book is told by Ptyuch, and I am not responsible for that. The important thing is that Ptyuch is a bird, and this book is creativity.
Thanks to my destiny for that turn off the road where I met my little big friend.
