Filiz Paints the Stars: Turkish Bedtime Audio Book (MP3 + PDF)

Filiz Paints the Stars (Filiz Yıldızları Boyuyor). Filiz paints the white terraces of Pamukkale with her trunk, one color at a time. Every pool has a color, every color has a Turkish word, and one wish hangs on the wishing tree.

A bilingual bedtime audio picture book for children ages 4 to 9. The story is told in Turkish, with gentle English echoes on the key words. It stops for you to say the words out loud, and the ending slows down on purpose so your child can fall asleep. Running time: 3:46.
