The Ferris Wheel
by Tulin Kozikoglu, Huseyin Sonmezay
Description
A story about two parallel journeys. A mother and a son leaving their home for a ‘’better’’ day, while a father and a daughter leaving their home for a ‘’safer’’ day. The concerns of the parents are almost the same as they watch over their kids but the environment is sadly very different as the father and daughter are leaving their home, a city devastated with war. All through the journey the red fish, the little girl’s pet she has to leave behind, follows them as a symbol of the memory of home. In the end both families get on a ferris wheel and as the wheel turns and turns the readers will see how the world and everyone is connected even though the lives may differ. Living in a country that is both facing immigration and welcoming refugees, the author touches upon the feeling of empathy with a simple yet powerful story.
