WHEN BEENA SAW RUSSIA

In 1977, thirteen-year-old Beena travelled from Kerala to the Soviet Union and spent an unforgettable month at the International children's camp, Artek. She returned with memories of Moscow, Ukraine, the Black Sea, Bear Mountain and friendships that crossed borders and languages. Her experiences became the much-loved Malayalam book Beena Kanda Russia, cherished by generations of readers. Nearly fifty years later, When Beena Saw Russia brings the same journey to English readers through the wonder-filled eyes of that young girl. A warm and timeless story of travel, friendship, discovery and the dream of world peace.
