This is a really fun children's story! It is a modern version of a Russian fairy tale, where two children enter a different realm through a portal located in their aunt's house. There, they encounter the magical firebird whose feathers have the power to heal. But their adventure becomes dangerous when they run into a Russian witch named Baba Yaga.This journey ends up being quite a learning experience for the young children. The author does an excellent job describing this fantastical world. I really loved the imagery, and I also really loved the firebird!I have never had the pleasure of reading any Russian fairy tales before, so I'm glad to have had the opportunity.This is a book that I'm sure my nephews will enjoy when they're a little bit older. I also look forward to sharing it with children of my own that I may hopefully have someday!
