Lori's Tale
by Author: Züleyha Ersingün Illustrator: Müjde Başkale
Memories that leave traces begin with believing in the same fairy tale... Lori has birds, apricot trees and cheerful songs. Her grandmother has stories and deep lines... Every evening, when the first star appears, her grandmother tells Lori a story, and Lori asks her about the lines on her face. Days come and go like this, autumn comes. Lori reluctantly starts school, and her grandmother forgets fairy tales. Then she starts to forget everything else slowly… Then would be silent together and not speak. When Lori lost her grandmother, she lost her hope and stopped speaking. But one day, Lori sees a book on the teacher’s desk with a peacock on it, she remembers the peacock tale that her grandmother used to tell her. Her fears disappear and her voice is heard again. The beloved author of contemporary children’s literature, Züleyha Ersingün, relieves a child’s school anxiety with the healing power of literature. Müjde Başkale’s drawings between dreams and reality invite her readers to the streets of an ancient city
