A Russian children's book: Journey to Russia

Russian children raised abroad are facing the typical expat challenges: they are an expat child, a third culture kid.  They grow up in between two or even more cultures. There is the culture of their domicile country, their home. But not only that. There is Russian culture as the primary culture of one or both parents. But in many cases in our global world, the second parent brings in another culture in — what a mix of cultures!

You want the best for your little one. And you want the kid to respect and connect with your heritage. Knowing the customs, the Russian traditions or being part of a local Russian community are only some of the aspects. But of course, you want the child also to be part of the local community, connected to local customs and traditions from the third country, the home country.

In most cases, the kiddo will build a colourful mix of different cultural aspects – and your roots will play a role in there also. We need to accept that the little one will never feel like a child born and raised in Russia. But we can significantly benefit from the cultural mix; our little third culture kid will bring to the table.    

The personalised children's book Journey to Russia is the most lively, tangible and joyful starting point to create shared memories when it comes to your kid’s origins and bonds. It is not only a reading adventure for Russian babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. It is an emotional and touching storybook for all parents, grandparents and friends coming from Russia who engage with children and share their own experiences and life stories... „Once upon a time...“. This is Russia book is a fun helper for sharing important topics and experiences.

Make use of the Russian alphabet and let the little ones be proud of their Russian names, by letting them be present correctly written in their personalised kids' book. The customised kids' book Journey to Russia is not only a Russian English book but comes also in German. This storybook touches upon traditional Russian dances, food, traditions and rituals. Even typical sports are a big topic. Your child will enjoy hearing more from you about single topics and will love to learn more about a culture, which is so close to your heart. The engaging and appealing illustrations will support you along the way! The Russian book for a child allows you to extend all the stories by adding personal experiences, family bits and pieces plus a Russia map, where you can show and mark the places where friends and family are living. 

This personalised book in Russian allows the children living abroad to feel a sense of pride to be Russian, but also a sense for diversity in general – while connecting their roots with the current place of domicile, the home country!
