Childish dreams woven up to the sky!

Beloved by her titles Wanderlust and Dream Girl, the award-winning author Leyla Ruhan Okyay, makes us feel in her last title that every dream which children have is another journey. The author who’s telling a heart-touching story which is full of clouds is erasing past’s traces of pain with colorful dreams and amicability. The novel that exalts the solidarity and love though its enriched themes and realistic characters reminds us the vital importance of friendship, sharing and joining hands. This hope greeting book that takes its readers to Kars by a train travel full of memories is colored by the illustrations of young illustrator Merve Atılgan.
