New Book: "How Can the Future Be a Success?"

Today, our new book “How Can the Future Be a Success” was published on bilingual-picturebooks.org. You can already read it in 11 different languages ( Arabic, Chinese (traditional Mandarin), English, Farsi, French, Finnish, German, Greek, Portuguese (Brazilian), Portuguese (European), Spanish, Turkish, and Ukranian)! The book is a collection stories about people who are changing the world for the better today. Children from Iran, Turkey and Germany interviewed local idols and asked them what they were doing to make the world a better place. The stories they captured reach from protecting and planting forests to advocating for children’s rights. Sadly, there was not enough room to incorporate all the wonderful interviews which children sent to us in the final book. Still, we do not want these stories to be lost, therefore you can read all the stories that did not make it into the book in the following. Maybe, while reading you will notice that you also know someone who is changing the world in some small way. Why not you ask them about it? 

In this picture Damla Ela Sarıçam shows us how the world could become more beautiful if we recycled our trash.

“As children are going to inherit this world from us, we want to teach them to program”, Gülay Ciragioglu says.
