The Walrus's Garden

On a bright, frosty morning, Walrus sits on the icy shore in his soft blue knitted scarf and decides to create something beautiful with his friend Little Auk. Together they carve a garden from ice, shaping a plump seal and a tiny bird from the frozen blocks around them. As Seal, Snowy Owl, two arctic hares, and a puffin arrive, each adds a sculpture of their own, turning the ice garden into a shared celebration of polar wildlife and friendship.

When a strong wind threatens the sculptures, the friends must find a way to protect what they have made. Working side by side, they roll snowballs, patch gaps, and build a sturdy wall that shelters both the garden and themselves. This gentle tale by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL shows young readers how shared effort turns a small idea into something lasting, and how everyone's contribution matters. Suited to early primary school children, it can be read aloud at bedtime or enjoyed independently, and the story can be found on Masal İzle.
