The Little Mountain Postcard

Milo, a plump marmot with golden-brown fur and a moss-green scarf, lives high in the mountains. His closest friend, a tiny pika named Pip, has moved to a valley on the far side of the peaks, and Milo feels the quiet left behind. One morning he writes a postcard about the snowy summits and the silent forest, drawing himself in his scarf, and a friendly eagle carries it across the mountains.

What follows is a correspondence that moves with the seasons. Milo sends news of melting snow, crocuses, bees and sweet berries, while Pip replies from the valley with butterflies, a little stream and a rainbow. This gentle tale by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL is suited to young readers and to adults reading aloud, and it can be read on Masal İzle. It offers a warm way to talk about missing someone who has moved away, and about how small, regular gestures can keep a friendship alive across great distances.
