Paulius Varnelė, Giedrė Ringelevičienė. Supainiota istorija (A Mixed-Up Story), Babtai: Charity and Support Fund Švieskime vaikus, 2024. – 32 p. 

A Mixed-Up Story is a fun tale about a Baker who is renowned for his delicious, fragrant cakes, and the chimney of his bakery, which suddenly becomes clogged. The Baker asks for the help of a Chimney Sweep. While unclogging the chimney, the Chimney Sweep becomes confused: who is helping him? He is working from one side, and the Baker from the other. The mix-up is caused by a pair of mysterious green eyes! Giedrė Ringelevičienė’s expressive illustrations enhance the humorous miscommunications: after all, it’s hard to hear and see clearly inside a chimney! Read the book to find out how this amusing story ends. This is a tale of an unexpected friendship and adventures in everyday life.
