This is a dynamic and touching story-telling journey through Kyiv in the times of Kyivan Rus in the company of eight kittens and their mum-cat. Readers will start from the outskirts of the Pochayna River, travel along its bank to the area called Gonchari-Kozhum’yaki, and end the walk near the princely palace, the Golden Gate. In this way, children will not only learn about medieval Kyiv and its flavour, but also find out what professions were common at that time.

The Portal's publications are a "quick reference" for parents and teachers.

How to prepare a child for separation from parents (when a child goes to kindergarten or parents go on a business trip)? How to introduce the period of Kyivan Rus and tell about ancient professions? You will find the answers in this portal publication.

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 with QR codes and game bookmarks containing

• historical backgrounds - information about the historical period from expert historians;
psychological support - comments from professional psychologists and recommendations for discussing important points and difficult issues
• 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 series of picture books & Stories about History (for ages 4-7) is structurally similar to a puzzle. Each book in it is autonomous, but together they give children a holistic overview of historical periods, from the Stone Age to the present day. The series introduces history at the level of immersion in the flavour of the era through a vivid emotional picture, because children of this age have not yet formed an idea of time. The described realities, artefacts, and events are based on scientific facts and reconstructions.

The «Stories about History» series currently includes 11 books and is being supplemented. Other books in this series:

«Nobody's Crunch»Sashko Dermansky, «Olive Pit» by Olga Kupriyan, by Maria Artemenko, Deer Running by the Sea by Olesya Mamchych, Eve's Pits byValya Vzduhlska, «Carol with Knights» by Olga Kupriyan, «In the Garden Sat a Wise Man» by Ania Khromova, «Ashik Omer by Anastasiia Levkova, The Stolen Ring by Svitlana Bohdan, and Moon Over Kinburn by Yulia Stakhivska.

For readers aged 7+, the Portal is developing a series that creates a more detailed and deeper historical picture. The books in 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!
