Read a sample Read a sample
This lyrical, whimsical picture book, set in the old city of Istanbul, celebrates kindness and generosity of spirit.
Follow one little girl on her busy day through the old city of Istanbul—from the Galata bridge to the Grand Bazaar—as the city opens its arms to her. All along the way, the generous people she meets share many gifts with her: sesame rounds, hot tea, a boat ride, rose candy, pomegranate juice, even a scrub in a Turkish bath! But she doesn't just keep the gifts for herself. At every turn, she finds a way to share what has been given to her and pass it on so others can enjoy it too.
With poetic text and radiant artwork, author Anna Pellicioli and Turkish illustrator Merve Atilgan bring us this heartwarming tale of kindness and generosity in the city known as the crossroads of the world.
