For the first time Bad Advice with Grigoriy Oster!
Coming to Canada for the first time!
This is not just a meeting between a writer and readers, but a real show for disobedient adults — veterans of childhood.
Yes, those who rejoiced in the first Bad Advice at the end of the last century are adults today. But inside each of us, that very “little one” has never gone anywhere — the tiny child, the baby genius, the clueless prodigy — who, deep down, we remain forever, at any age.
We look forward to seeing you.

Grigory Bentsionovich Oster — a Soviet and Russian writer, poet, and playwright, one of the most famous authors of children’s literature.
Born in 1947 in Odesa. He gained wide popularity thanks to the book Bad Advice, which humorously parodies didactic instructions for both adults and children. He is the screenwriter of iconic animated films: 38 Parrots, A Kitten Named Woof, Watch Out, Monkeys!. His work is distinguished by subtle humor, absurdity, and a deep respect for the child’s way of thinking.
