The novel for children and adolescents, ‘Dobry’, by American writer Monica Shannon with illustrations by Atanas Katchamakoff, published for the first time in Bulgarian in 2021 by NEF ‘13 Centuries of Bulgaria’, has already reached Bulgarian children in the USA.
With the assistance of the State Institute for Culture at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, fifteen copies of the novel were sent to Mr Boyko Hristov, Consul General of Bulgaria to Los Angeles; he delivered them to Bulgarian schools in San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
The Fund is going to donate another ten books, which Mr Tihomir Stoychev, Ambassador of the Republic of Bulgaria to the United States, will distribute to Bulgarian Sunday schools in the Washington region.
