EN | List of links with fairy tales to read, listen or watch in the Ukrainian language

Updated: Mar 24, 2022


To help people fleeing a country in war, and to help parents and children to cope with this situation as best they can.


To help children and their caretakers, we have created a list of links to free Ukrainian fairy tales, ebooks, audiobooks, printable memory games, and educational content for children.


In creating the content, we used a list from the sites of UNICEF, the Ukrainian publishing house, Starý Lev / Видавництво Старого Лева, information from the Association of Polish Librarians SPB and tips sent to us by our friends who found this idea useful.



• The Ukrainian publishing house Starý Lev has made some e-books available free-of-charge to help distract the attention of young children when reading: Електронні дитячі книги – безкоштовно! | ВСЛ (starylev.com.ua) Here are dozens of videos in which Ukrainian authors read excerpts from their books to children: (62) Мар'яна Савка читає «Казку про Старого Лева» - YouTube


Morning Publishers provides children's books in electronic format free-of-charge. Content can be downloaded and read without internet access. Web BaraBooka:

A few words about the initiative


In the view of the events that have become commonplace for us in recent days, many of us feel helpless and at the same time need to help in some way. This is how we help – with the help of other people we made this list. Originally it was done in Slovakia in Slovakian and Ukrainian language. But our friends like the idea and that’s why we translate it in English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish. This is a list to be freely distributed and used as people need it. If you want to translate it – feel free to do it. If you know about any other source of books or stories – just add it.

This is a little way to help and to show that we care. And also as Neil Gaiman wrote in Coraline: “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
