Elma Çocuk Racer Who Races Every Day

The precious words of our Hayalhane resident, Ahmet Önel, draw us into Yiğit’s world this time. Our story takes place in a time when simply losing oneself in daydreams was enough to have fun—in TV-less homes adorned with wooden toys. *The Racer Who Races Against the Day* is a novel that, through the reflections of a six-year-old child on family, friendship, and nature, depicts the sweet excitement of riding bicycles toward brighter days.

Those who steal birds, pluck flowers, and uproot trees... All of them, every single one, are your rivals!"

"i say, 'what do you mean, rival?'"

"Your competitors!" says the cyclist. "But they're not like the sun. No matter what, one day you'll hit the pedals and leave them all behind!"

"I'm going to leave it all behind, yes!" I say.

A boy living far from the city, surrounded by nature... Yiğit! One day, while out exploring with his adorable dog Karadut, he runs into Yarışçı. And that’s how our story begins!

Who do you think will win the race? The road workers, or Yiğit and his new friend?
