Trip – Diary
Kerem goes on a trip through his homeland, Turkey, with his family and his
friend Hasan. The trip’s destinations are not at the centre of this book,
but rather the personal experiences and impressions which Kerem has while on
it. The glimpses into the life of people in different places fascinate the
boy very much and awaken his interest in the everyday life of people whom he
encounters. Kerem begins to put down what he experiences in a travel diary,
and in the process learns to formulate his thoughts and feelings and to
communicate with other people also in written form. Thus this lively told
children’s novel inspires readers to follow suit, and, by means of writing,
find ways to express themselves and their inner world. (Age: 10+)
