Author Event – Tülin Kozikoğlu

9 May 2023

Our Grade 1 students met children’s author Tülin Kozikoğlu at an event on “Öfkeli Örümcek Rıza” (“Rıza the Angry Spider”), one of the books in the Leyla Fonten series. They discussed how to solve Rıza’s problem and shared ideas on what we can do to control our anger and calm down. Thank you, dear Tülin Kozikoğlu, for a lovely talk…
