That is, with the help of their mothers or older relatives, they could learn letters and numbers, develop speech, read Ukrainian poems and calculators, learn to think logically, paint and develop.

The books flew out instantly, there is a hunger for Ukrainian books here in Poland," said Anastasia Cifers, co-founder of Cifers Foundation, who was presenting the Book personally.
