Ege and Efe - You Trust Us Grandpa is a warm and engaging children's story about trust, honesty, responsibility, and the deep bond between grandparents and their grandchildren. Set during the boys' annual summer visit, the narrative follows the humorous and heartfelt adventures of cousins Ege and Efe, their wise and gentle grandpa, their loving grandma, and their mischievous parrot Lemon - a talkative bird who imitates alarms, doorbells, and just about everything he hears.
Across five illustrated chapters, the story captures ordinary childhood moments - waking up early, breakfast outdoors, visiting the bazaar, flying kites, exploring grandpa's old tailor shop, and asking questions that only curious young minds can imagine. But woven into the fun is a meaningful lesson: trust is not simply something you receive; it is something you build through honesty, care, and doing what is right.
As the boys follow clues, misunderstand grandpa's actions, and attempt to uncover "mysterious secrets" behind a locked door, they eventually discover an unexpected truth: grandpa has been quietly sewing clothes and gathering shoes to help those in need - offering support in the most humble and private way. What begins as a playful mystery becomes a powerful moment of growth for Ege and Efe, who learn the value of good deeds done silently, without seeking praise.
Filled with colorful illustrations and warm family dynamics, this story encourages children to reflect on:
- Trust and responsibility
- Respect for elders
- Helping others quietly
- Good manners
- Gratitude and kindness
Perfect for families, classrooms, storytime sessions, and character-education programs, Ege and Efe - You Trust Us Grandpa offers a joyful reading experience with lasting moral depth.
