In 2023, Ukrainian publishers, at least in the segment of translated literature, will focus on fantasy. The already popular series will be continued, and new magical stories will win the hearts of young readers. There will be works of art that will touch on difficult but important topics that should not be kept silent in front of children, for example, about cancer or phobias. A separate thematic series will consist of publications dedicated to emotions and how to manage them. Ukrainian children live in the realities of war and need books that will help them overcome losses, fears and anxiety. See the list for more detail and variety.
