Guest Speaker, Yalvaç Ural - “Are You a Comedian?”

Guest Speaker, Yalvaç Ural - “Are You a Comedian?”

Yalvaç Ural, the first name that comes to mind when we think of Children’s Literature, paid a visit to our school in January within the scope of ‘Authors At Schools Project’. During his time with us, Yalvaç Ural once again proved Yaşar Kemal’s words that described him as “a royal artist who dedicated himself to children” to be true. Yaşar Kemal also said “I have never sensed in any of Yalvaç Ural’s writing an attitude of looking down on children or not giving them the respect that they deserve”. The students had a very educational and fun time while the famous author talked about health, education and the importance of reading as well as his own memories. He also taught the children many things about life. His speech was so entertaining that one of the students couldn’t help but ask whether he was a comedian or not. The students also had the chance to get the famous author’s autograph before he left. We would like to thank Yalvaç Ural for his visit and pleasant talk.
