Journey to Bird's Paradise

Wonderful Saylam, the author of the book "Journey to the Paradise of Birds", lives with her children in Istanbul. He reads stories to his children every night before they go to sleep, and believes that every child should spend their childhood listening to stories.

Feeling lucky to have spent his childhood reading different books on boat trips with his family, Saylam states that he was inspired by a special story writing while passing through a canal on one of these boat trips, and he believes in the power of moments.

The illustrator of the book, Fatih Küçük, established a cartoon school called Cartoon Mill in Kaş. It organizes cartoon festivals in Kaş every year alone. It also organizes free cartoon workshops for the children of the village schools in the region. A new one of Cartoon Mill will be built in Cappadocia very soon.

*This book is dedicated to all Syrian children who lost their storytellers because of the war.

The proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to the "Everyday Refugees Foundation" non-governmental organization working to improve the living conditions of refugee families.
