Ouchieee
by Author: Elif Seyrekbasan Illustrator: Nesibe Çelebi
The author draws attention to the effect of empowering the child when coping with difficult issues, and doing this by getting support from the child’s own life and “successes.” Cansu is in the emergency service at the hospital with her family. As the nurse approaches with a needle in her hand to take blood from her, Cansu starts shouting: “Ouchieee”. The other children in the hospital are nervous: “What are they doing to make this child shout so fiercely?” However, the tip of the needle has not even touched Cansu, but she screams out of breath: Ouchieee! And at the end of these shouts—maybe we should say calls—a girl appears at the speed of a jet and says, “Here I am with your call.” Cansu is confused. She is sure that she did not call anyone. Where did this girl come from? That moment is the meeting of Ouchie and Cansu. Ouchie is there to help her get through this “difficult” process in the hospital. Meet our pratogonists, who will add color to children’s rich imaginations and encourage them to deal with their fears.
