Merhaba! (That’s “hello” in Turkish!) We’re so excited to welcome your children into our fall curriculum adventure, where September and October are all about the fascinating country of Turkey. Together, we’ll explore the music, traditions, and stories that make this place so enchanting.

Turkish Heritage Songbook – Drop your handkerchief, chase out the cows, and save the Itty Bitty Birdie with the Turkish Heritage Songbook from Fiddlefox. Read, sing, and play along as European melodies blend with the sounds of the Middle East in this musical crossroads collection in Turkish and English.

Wedding for a Chickpea – When Keloğlan’s special chickpea gets eaten up while he’s away, he unwittingly sets off a string of trades that leads to an unlikely ending. This beloved Turkish folktale is retold for young children, educators, and families, with lush illustrations inspired by Medieval Art.
