Mavisel Yener (born 1962) is a Turkish children’s and young-adult writer and poet whose work brings together curiosity, imagination, art and cultural memory. Her stories invite young readers to solve, create or reinterpret instead of remaining passive observers. Gizli Geçitleri Bulmanın Yolları centres discovery and hidden routes, while Sen de Oku - Çok Acayip Bir Macera signals a more playful adventure. She also retells familiar narratives in Sen de Oku Klasikler - Ezop Masalları, Sen de Oku Klasikler: Oz Büyücüsü and Sen de Oku Klasikler - Pinokyo. These books can lead into her broader practice across poetry, drama and writing workshops for several age groups. A useful way to understand Yener’s range is to notice the balance between works that carry readers through a story and works that make them partners in building one; both place a child’s questions and creative choices at the centre.
