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:

- questions to the text — a system of questions that will help you to work through the text meaningfully and deeply with your child.
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), «The Gods of Maize and Chocolate.
