Patchwork and cloud

Sofya Leonidovna Prokofieva was born in Moscow in 1928. Since childhood, she loved books and read a lot, especially she liked the tales of G.Kh. Andersen and the tales of P.P. Bazhova. Sophia wrote poetry (subsequently praised B.L. Pasternak), she painted well. Her father was an artist. By accidentally seeing the sketches that the daughter made on the scraps of paper, he noticed the girl’s talent and seriously engaged in her training. Three years later, Sophia entered the graphic faculty of the Moscow State Academic Art Institute, after which she began to work as an illustrator artist.
However, the literature attracted it more and more. When she had a son, Sofya Leonidovna began to write fairy tales for the children: first for the kids, and then for those who are older. She wrote more than 30 books, and each of the stories she told is full of miracles, happy accidents, extraordinary meetings - but it always turns out that there is not enough magic to win and happiness: more honesty, friendship and fidelity are needed. No magic pills and wonderful abilities will help a person if he is greedy, evil, insincere.
Young readers immediately loved the tales of Sofia Leonidovna. According to her scenarios, several cartoons were shot (including the Cartoon "Loskutik and the Cloud") and the films, and the film adaptation of the story "The Adventures of the Yellow Suitcase" was marked by prestigious international awards. Tales of Sofia Leonidovna Prokofieva are translated into 20 languages, and the guys all over the world read them with interest and pleasure, because friendship, sincerity and decency are those things that do not depend on the country where you live, and on the language you speak.
The heroine of the fairy tales "Patchwork and the Cloud" is an orphan that lives in an unhappy city: all the water in it belongs to the king, the rivers are dry, there are no rains, and the wells are covered with stones.

The patchwork will make new friends, and together with the cloud they will make a dangerous and bold plan that will help the townspeople free the water source languishing in prison with the king. There is a lot of magic and transformations in the fairy tale, but to defeat the evil and greedy king will also need courage, fidelity to friendship and support for all citizens
