This year marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of Petronėlė Orintaitė (1905-1999), a writer, author of lively children’s poems, and educator. On this occasion, we are presenting a book of cheerful children’s poems from the Museum’s collections, signed under the pseudonym of Balė Voveraitė (who also used to sign under the name of Vaivorytė) – MANO ŠVILPA. The book, illustrated by the artist Povilas Osmolski, was published in Augsburg in 1949.
