The book "The Guardians of Christmas," based on the film of the same name, has been released
In December, the publishing house "Ranok" released a new book, "The Guardians of Christmas," based on the film of the same name, which premiered on November 13 and was produced by 1+1 Media. As in the movie, the book's authors are Tetiana Shulika and Tamara Hrantovska.
This Christmas fairy tale tells the extraordinary adventures of a girl named Vira on the eve of the main winter holiday and an incredible event: the disappearance of Christmas! Whether the holiday can be saved is now revealed not only in the movie but also in the film's fairy-tale adaptation. This story is about the power of our most sincere desires and eternal values: kindness, love, hope, strong family ties, and belief in miracles. You can purchase the book on the Ranok publishing house website or in bookstores throughout Ukraine.
"We are delighted that our book was released on the verge of Christmas and that even more people will be able to immerse themselves in this warm and exciting story. Now is the time when we all need more love and faith in miracles," comments Tetyana Shulika, co-author of the book and producer of the film "The Guardians of Christmas."
"Tanya Shulika and I not only came up with a great story and turned it into a movie script, but we also turned it into a children's book — a bright and kind story about how sincere children's wishes can change the world. And, of course, there is also an answer to the question — who should we write letters to before Christmas now?" adds Tamara Hrantovska.
The publisher notes that the book is intended for children aged 6-8, but the whole family will enjoy reading the story, and it can be a wonderful gift or addition to the home library.
"We were sincerely delighted when we received an offer to publish the fairy tale" The Guardians of Christmas" after such a successful box office run (in the first days of release, the film was seen by 39,283 viewers, and the box office takings for the first weekend alone amounted to UAH 6,652,523 — ed.) and positive reviews from moviegoers. This is an exemplary and sound strategy for project development — such stories should continue and find their place in other formats, such as books. We will eagerly await the continuation of the story in the cinema and, if we make a wish, the next book as well," says Yulia Yeromenko, editor-in-chief of the branded products department at Ranok Publishing House.
