HRANI-T

HRANI-T (Ukrainian: Грані-Т, literally 'Facets of Creativity') was a Ukrainian publishing house founded in February 2006 and based in Kyiv. It focused on two editorial priorities: children's literature and cultural studies (culturology). Its stated credo was to reveal new and sometimes unexpected facets of the creativity of writers, artists, editors and designers. By 2009 the publisher had released more than 300 books, most of them organised into themed series. Its children's series included 'Abetky' (ABC books), 'Biblioteka vidminnyka' (Honour Student's Library), 'Velyka modnytsia' (The Great Fashionista), 'Dyvnii detektyv' (Strange Detective), 'Dytiacha ironichna poeziia' (Children's Ironic Poetry), 'Dzhereltse' (Little Spring), 'Zhyttia vydatnykh ditei' (Lives of Outstanding Children), 'Zolotyi leleka' (Golden Stork), 'Kazky narodiv svitu' (Fairy Tales of the World's Peoples), 'Klasni komiksy' (Cool Comics), 'Suchasna dytiacha proza' (Contemporary Children's Prose), 'Ukrainska dytiacha klasyka' (Ukrainian Children's Classics), 'Ukrainska maisternia fantastyky' (Ukrainian Fantasy Workshop) and 'Knyhoterapiia' (Bibliotherapy). Its cultural series included 'De profundis' (Ukrainian and foreign essays) and 'Hrani svitu' (Facets of the World, gift albums), as well as guidebooks. HRANI-T was active in book fairs and charity events for children from socially vulnerable groups, orphans and children with disabilities. In 2009 it won the National 'Philanthropist of the Year' competition in the category 'Domestic Company — Small Business'. It ran the annual 'Best Review of Contemporary Children's Prose' competition from 2009 and, from 2011, a nationwide competition for the best lesson plan for extracurricular reading. It also ran the 'Pidvishena knyzhka' (Suspended Book) charity book-sharing campaign from 2012, and numerous literary, photographic and charitable projects. The publisher ceased operations around 2016, when its website was last updated; the site went offline in early 2019.
