THE WHOLE WORLD
IN THE MAILBOX

The book is about how to find friends in any country of the world using postcards
For almost 20 years, more than 800 thousand people from 200 countries have participated in the project. Postcrossing is not just a hobby. This is an opportunity to find friends in different parts of the world, to find out how other people live. You can get to know the art, history and geography of countries through pictures and photographs, as well as through the stories of their senders. Postcrossing allows you to see the world more broadly, a world without borders and hostility. Just one postcard can make a happier person who finds a paper greeting in his mailbox!
This is an international postcard exchange project between random people.

About me:
Member of the Union of Children's and Youth Writers. Curator of the DASHA-PUBLISHER community of writers and illustrators.
I cooperate with the publishing houses “Alpina.Children”, "Bombora", “Abracazabra", “MYTH.Childhood”, “Prof-Press", "Amosa. Children." Participant of the ASPI and SEIP literary seminars, the All-Russian Educational Forum “Tavrida”, speaker of the “Summer School".

I sent my first postcard almost 10 years ago. Since then, I have more than 200 postcards in my collection. I have been communicating with some of my senders by letters for a long time, and a friend from France even flew to visit me in Moscow.

I am madly in love with all the postal aesthetics, mood and freedom! That's exactly what I wanted to write a book about.

Children's writer, screenwriter, postcrosser since 2011.

I have chosen the most unusual postcards, stories and characters to tell about them on the pages of the book!

Some of the illustrations are stamps, postcards, and even the handwriting of those with whom I once communicated.

Meet Nune,
Nune is 11 years old and she lives in a small village in Yamal. Her parents are engaged in reindeer husbandry and are rarely at home, and Nuna goes to school in the village with other children. Sometimes she misses her parents and dreams of seeing different cities and countries.

But despite this, Nune does not feel lonely, she has many friends: a student from Finland, a farmer from Uganda and an aunt from England. Noone knows how to make a signature Thai pie, and she's tried Norwegian tea! That's because Nune does postcrossing!

SEND YOUR FIRST
POSTCARD
In each book, the reader will be able to find the author's postcard. It can be signed and sent! To do this, you will just need to come to the post office and paste the stamps.

We will leave the addresses of the author and illustrator of the book so that readers can tell in a postcard about their city or country, or tell something interesting about themselves.

Becoming a postcrosser is easy!
