All of this helps children succeed, not just in school, but throughout life. Long time ago, when wisdom and knowledge were shared through storytelling within communities, fairy tales were born for exactly these reasons. For centuries, they were a vital part of growing up, and each new generation created its own modern versions.

Now it’s time to discover the fourth seven Fairy Tales by Uroš Petrović.
