Bookroo's summary

A young Russian girl finds herself lost in a bustling city. As strangers attempt to help, she paints a picture of her mother filled with love and imagination, but lacking in detail. Can they find her mother based on a child's heartfelt yet vague descriptions? The search becomes a journey of understanding and connection, revealing more than just the way home.
