The Portal's books are created in a series that form a holistic historical picture for children. There are many tragic pages in world and Ukrainian history that cannot be ignored. But it is difficult to talk about them with children without special training. You need professional support, an understanding of how to conduct a conversation so as not to cause trauma, and answers to questions that the child will have many. This is exactly what the Life Goes On series helps parents and teachers to do.
The books in this series raise the topics of the Holocaust, emigration, post-traumatic stress disorder, eviction from one's own home as a result of the Chernobyl tragedy, and others. Through fiction, the writers manage to convey horrors by depicting the relevant atmosphere, through the plot and the experiences and dialogues of the characters, rather than directly describing them. The work of psychologists with the texts of this particular series is the most delicate of all the Portal's, as it is important to weigh every word, every shade of meaning, so as not to hurt or traumatise the children's psyche.
So far, in addition to Apples of War, this series has released «We Live on the Edge of a Volcano&by Nadiia Gerbish and Flowers by the Fourth by Kateryna Mikhalitsyna. The series will be gradually updated with new books.
The Portal's publication is an 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!
