The Adyghe University Publishing House Launches 'Little Narts': An Exciting New Coloring Book for Boys

The coloring book ("Little Narts"), which tells about the meaning of Adyghe male names, is released in the series "Children's Literature from Adygea", which publishes bilingual books, works by modern authors in Russian and Adyghe languages, and translations of classics of children's literature.

The author of the drawings is a graduate of the Institute of Arts of the Adyghe State University, Diana Bogus, who last year won the International Competition of Literary Works for Children named after Kirimize Jane in the nomination "Illustration". This is already her second coloring book. This spring, the Publishing House of the Adyghe University published the coloring book "Nyskhapekher" ("Dolls"), which tells about the meaning of women's names.

The new coloring book features ancient Adyghe male names: Shyumaf (happy rider), Bg'ezh (eagle), MashIu (fire), Myzh'u (stone) and others.
