A little story about a crow who thinks he has a beautiful voice, which is actually awful. One day he “sings” near an old woman and when the woman keeps sipping from her coffee looking completely happy, the crow thinks to himself “Oh this woman must have very good taste in music, she loved listening to me, my friends should see this” and he invites the nightingale. The nightingale is shocked. In the end it is revealed by the woman’s cat that she is actually deaf. The crow, who’s so embarrassed, just flies away and no one sees him again.

Street Animals

For a children’s story about caring for street animals. Stray animals is a huge issue in Turkey. Cats and dogs are released to streets by their uncaring irresponsible owners, and sometimes they’re poisoned by public authorities who wants to get rid of them.

The Woolgatherer

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:51:00 +0300

This is a poem about a man (or a boy) called Mahmut the Woolgatherer. He wakes up early in the morning before everyone else, and paints the sky blue. He sews the sea when it’s torn. And sometimes he just woolgathers, because that is his job. =) The poet was probably describing himself. I think it’s a witty and smart beautiful little poem. One just envies Mahmut’s job..

Just like our hands

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:39:00 +0300

From a poetry book for children. This is kind of a surreal poem. I illustrated it as it is. It goes like “Because animals can’t talk, how wonderfully they might be thinking, I wonder, just like our hands. Before starting to read, one should water the flowers..”

We have a nursery rhyme about a little child promising a ladybug if it’ll fly, his/her mother would buy it new shoes. That’s why the ladybug on the upper left is dreaming of shoes =)

Child Bird

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:31:00 +0300

From a poetry book for children. It’s something like “It was a bird, all red. They hung flowers on each of its feathers. It did not fly. It was a bird, all green. They hung a child’s ribbon on its feathers. It did fly..”

Bees

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:26:00 +0300

From a poetry book for children. It’s something like ”You suck the apple blossoms, you fill all the honeycombs, now grab the hem of spring, fly buzzing in the air bees..”
