Мой день
Как давно вы наслаждались своим днем рождением?
When was the last time you truly enjoyed your birthday?
The older we get, the less attention we start paying to our birthdays. It stops being something «magical» and long-awaited, and becomes just another ordinary day. Where does all the love for this day go, and how can we bring it back?
«I don’t feel this day is a holiday.»
Based on the survey conducted as part of the birthday research, the following was revealed:
- Most respondents lose interest in celebrating their birthday over time, or do not see a difference between their special day and any other ordinary day.
- Despite this, respondents still feel special.
How can I rediscover that feeling of being special for the day?
That is what my book is about.
Illustrated non-fiction in the style of a teen magazine about birthdays, written in simple language to cover everything associated with that day. For whom: Primarily for teens who are starting to notice that their birthday no longer brings the same joy it once did.
Book Index
I chose an illustrated non-fiction format because it allows for conveying quite complex—and somewhat dry—information through more accessible methods, supported by pleasing visuals. The book sequentially explores the history of the holiday, its characteristics and traditions, interesting facts and superstitions, as well as includes separate entertaining sections.
Birthdays shouldn’t just be another day
