Publisher's Synopsis
The Lost Children Cannot Draw Their Mothers Happy
Some children create stories to live. Others draw to catch the time.
Hidir sees the world not as it is, but as it could be. With each stroke of his pencil, birds take flight, the wind howls, unseen lands come alive. Yet one image remains beyond his reach-his mother's happiness.
Convinced that his parents' love is incomplete, he escapes into worlds he dreams up, searching for something more. Fantasy and reality blur-his classmates whisper about his magical drawings while his teacher watches, trying to understand. Is he creating, or revealing a deeper truth?
A Deeply Moving NovelThe Lost Children Cannot Draw Their Mothers Happy is a profoundly poetic exploration of imagination, emotional expression, and the quiet struggles of childhood. Set in the delicate spaces between memory and imagination, presence and absence, every page resonates with grief, love, and the echoes of the unseen.
Beneath Hidir's rebellion lies an unspoken love, woven subtly between the lines.
