Domovoi Vedomir Accountability Makes Us Strong
A Tale of Truth, Repair, and the Strength to Make Things Right
Young Domovoi Vedomir wants very much to be a good forest guardian.
But wanting to do the right thing and actually doing it are not always the same.
When a village girl is hurt crossing a bridge Vedomir promised to repair, he finds himself facing a difficult choice. He can make excuses. He can blame others. Or he can tell the truth and take responsibility for his mistakes.
Guided by the wisdom of Leshy and Baba Yaga, Vedomir discovers that accountability is not about being perfect. It is about honesty, courage, and doing the work to make things right.
Filled with warmth, folklore, and gentle life lessons, this beautifully illustrated story helps children understand that mistakes do not define us-but how we respond to them does.

For ages 5-10] and the grown-ups who walk beside them.
