PreS-K–A new title in the “Our World” series spotlights Türkiye, offering young readers a rich glimpse into this culture by following a local family through a typical day. The story begins with: “Günaydın! Say hello to the sun. Say hello to a new day. geu-ny-dun.” The inclusion of native language, paired with a helpful pronunciation guide and additional context at the end of the book, enhances the educational value. For example, readers learn that günaydın means “good morning” in Turkish. Authentically crafted by a Turkish writer and illustrator, this title exudes cultural accuracy and care. The soft illustrations and bright color palette beautifully complement the engaging narrative, making this book both visually and textually appealing.
VERDICT A must-have for library collections everywhere.
