The answers you will find in this edition of the Portal.
The uniqueness of the Portal books lies in a special system that helps adults find the right words to discuss psychological issues with children and understand the historical context more deeply. For each printed edition, a team of educators, psychologists, and historians has developed detailed backgrounder by QR codes and game bookmarks containing:historical background — information about the historical period from expert historians;psychological support — comments from professional psychologists and recommendations for discussing important points and difficult issues
The Portal's books are created in a series that form a holistic historical picture for children.
The World History series is based on the same principle as Stories about History, and they work especially well together, giving a comprehensive overview of events in different parts of the world. However, each book is also autonomous and can be read separately. Based on the principles of empathy and immersion, the stories help to discuss many topics with children: diversity, peculiarities of time and culture, peculiarities of interaction at the level of an ancient family or tribe, etc. Each story, in addition to the historical narrative, contains a conflict and character development, as well as reveals one of the psychological themes: love, friendship, jealousy, the ability to overcome obstacles, the value of people around you, finding your vocation, etc.
The History of the World series currently includes 4 books and is being supplemented. Other books in this series are: «Can You Look at a Cherry Tree? by Tanya Postavna (Japan), «Lerato means love. Stories from Africa" by Oksana Kutsenko (Africa), "Beit is home" by Katrina Haddad (Arab world).
For readers aged 7+, the Portal is developing series that create a more detailed and deeper historical picture. The books of the series help children understand the change of historical epochs and the course of events in Ukraine at different times.
The Portal's publications are interesting storytelling based on a scientifically verified historical background. Your children will become interested in the history and culture of Ukraine and the world without rote learning - in adventures and fascinating stories!
