Gupalo Vasyl: Six and a Half Adventures is a joyful, heartwarming book for young readers by Fozi (Oleksandr Sydorenko), illustrated by Sashko Danylenko, published by Vydavnytstvo Staroho Leva in 2025. In this hardback edition of 96 pages (145×200 mm), you'll find a set of semi‑parable tales starring Gupalo Vasyl, a simple man who embodies goodness. At first glance, Vasyl seems ordinary, but when darkness looms, he discovers an extraordinary capacity: goodness not only to endure but to grow, become larger and stronger to protect others.
This edition includes a new short story about Gupalo and his friends — because a kind heart always finds another adventure. These stories are perfect for children aged about 6‑10 years, combining moral reflection with imaginative fun, lively illustrations, and accessible language. The colour illustrations bring the parable‑like episodes to life, making each adventure visually vivid and emotionally resonant. The book is ideal for reading aloud, for family sharing, or as a thoughtful gift.
