Joining the Our World series for very young readers, this board book with endnotes about daily life in Türkiye was created by a Turkish author and illustrator.

“This series offers solid glimpses of faraway places, more poetry than a tour guide . . . evocative and inviting” – School Library Journal

Turkish author Emrah Güler and illustrator Deniz Üçbasaran draw on their lived experiences to create this playful board book, which features educational endnotes, as part of the Our World series for very young readers.
