Billie and Bu – Kristine Rui Slettebakken (Ukrainian Edition)

A warm Norwegian story for children aged 9–12, in Ukrainian. When Bu’s best friend Abdullai moves abroad, Bu’s heart seems to shrink, and he avoids other children for fear that a new friendship could hurt him again.

Then he meets Billie, a strange, brave girl unlike anyone he has known, who bursts into his life without asking permission and pulls him into new places and adventures. With her, Bu learns to laugh again, to trust and to try things he would never have dared. A gentle book about friendship that changes and helps the heart grow, especially meaningful for children who have moved countries or said goodbye to friends.
