Story:
"Gallo, the rooster, spends his days monotonously in an egg factory. His only friend is a little bird who tells stories about distant countries, and who brightens his days with his visits. One autumn afternoon, the little bird doesn't show up, no one will cheer him up during the gray weekdays.

However, the sad little cockerel's life suddenly changes after he receives
a mysterious postcard and sets out on a journey. What happens if the gray
weekdays suddenly turn us gray too? Is it worth replacing the old familiar
with the unknown?" (from Csimota publisher's website)

Background:
The book is based on personal experiences, I was in a similar life situation
as the rooster when I started to write the story. In connection with my own burnout, I began to think about whether we can do anything for our happiness, whether we can or dare to change the usual.

What happens when we start new things and our path is not as easy as we imagined?
I was sure that the essential point of the story would be the change, getting into a new life situation. I considered it an important aspect that when the change takes place, the new chapter should not begin without difficulties. Change is not always easy, and it depends on us what we do with it.
