Open the seriesAs they listen to a story, children mentally stand beside the hero: they make decisions with him, make mistakes, try again, and delight in what worked out. Khryuchik doesn't preach — through his actions he shows how to act, how to treat others, and how to handle difficulties. So the qualities a child needs in modern life come through naturally — in engaging, kind stories.
01
Khryuchik doesn't wait for everything to happen on its own. When he has an idea, he tries, asks, looks for a solution, and takes the first step.
02
Not everything works the first time — and that's fine. A mistake isn't a failure or a disaster, it's part of the path. It helps you see what to do differently next time.
03
Even after he succeeds, Khryuchik doesn't forget those around him. He knows how to empathise, to share what he has, and to help those who are having a harder time.
04
Khryuchik doesn't wait to be invited into the game. He comes up with something interesting to do, calls others over, and builds a team where there's a place for everyone.
05
Khryuchik knows that a setback doesn't mean everything is lost. Even in a hard situation he finds a new opportunity, acts, and works toward a result that benefits not only him but others too.
06
Khryuchik can feel joy and sadness, fear and wonder, anger and gratitude. He lets himself be different, but even strong emotions don't stop him from thinking, finding a solution, and moving on.
Move the marker and watch the Khryuchik stories grow up: from childhood and first discoveries to journeys, big changes, and the search for oneself.
Story #3 · 3+
The third story in the series “When Khryuchik Was Little.”
Yulia Bilurka · authorMany of the cities, trains, and morning kitchens in the books are real. The author pours her experience of moving, travelling, and growing up into stories where Khryuchik lives through the same things — only funnier and a little braver than we do.
That's why "Khryuchik's adventures" can be read as a guide to emotions: the fear of the new, the thrill of the first sea, the silence of an unfamiliar apartment — it's all there.
