“Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down” - Elwyn Brooks White (Author of Charlotte's Web)
Sergent
Kvitochok
Sergeant Kvitochok is a children’s book inspired by a true story from Ukraine —
the story of a cat who found himself living among soldiers during the war,
supervising daily life with an attitude, suggesting
he has very strong opinions about how things should be run.
Real Life Story
His real story was shared by the 127th Heavy Mechanized Brigade, who described him as a cat “with an iron character and soft paws,” always staying close to the soldiers and “keeping everything under control.” He even has “official duties,” which include mouse-hunting (for which he receives rewards, naturally). Over time, this is how he built his “military career” and acquired the callsign Sergeant Kvitochok — and so he became Sergeant Kvitochok — a promotion he accepted silently and with great composure, in the way only a cat can.
