The Littlest Matryoshka (Hardcover, 1st ed)

“Goodbye Anna,” said Nikolai, and he kissed her forehead. “Keep your sisters safe inside you and may you find a happy home.”

So begins the journey of matryoshka sisters Nina, Nadia, Vanda, Varka, Olga, and Anna, from a village in Russia to a toy store in America. But once there, the littlest sister, Nina, is swept off the edge of the shelf. While her older sisters find their way into the hands of a caring new owner, Nina begins a perilous journey that takes her from the street in front of the toy store, down waterfalls, rivers and streams. How will Nina ever be reunited with her sisters? This tender, old-fashioned story is a testament to the power of sisterly love and a celebration of matryoshkas, the cherished Russian nesting dolls.
