Illustrations for Mikhail Stelmakh's book "In the Hedgehog's Windmill" 1956

Hryhorii Havrylenko’s 1956 illustration depicts a scene from Mikhail Stelmakh's children’s book *In the Hedgehog's Windmill*. Created in a simple yet expressive black and white style, the image captures a charming moment between three characters. A seated adult figure, likely a storyteller, holds a ball in his lap, as he addresses a young boy and girl who stand before him. The artist's use of line and shading lends a sense of warmth and intimacy to this delightful portrayal of childhood storytelling.
