Else Günther, who is writer of child novels, introduces far countries such asAsia or Africa and European countries such as Sweden to children. In this way,she tries to improve the intercultural skills of the post-war generation.In this article, novel of the writer named "Sonjas lustige Tiirkenreise" is going tobe discussed. Protagonist little Sonja goes to Turkey with her uncle who knowsvery little Turkish and she encounters new culture for the first time in Turkey asIslamic country. Writer has described her emotions like fear, happiness ormissing not only in child's but also in an adult's perpective. Thus, readers canobserve from both viewpoints and form their own ideas.In this paper, we tried to find answer to these questions: 1) Which emotionalexpressions does the author use in self-perception? 2) Which emotionalexpressions does the author use perceiving the others? 3) Which differences canbe observed between the two forms of perception? The emotions based onprejudices in the perception of strangers are usually negative, and those lead tonegative verbal feeling expressions. But we can say that the negative emotionsturn into positive as the stranger is gotten know, the prejudices are questioned andin this way the communication of people is aimed to be improved.Based upon the novel, we guess the writer had been in Turkey in personheretofore because she successfully describes the historical places andenvironment. We think she tells the foreigners using an interactive observationand motivates the child readers for understanding them in humanistic point ofview. The importance of this novel is that it had been written after the downfall ofthe Nazi regime and before the worker migration in 60's. Bias against foreignersand orientalistic approach was relatively not so common in that time period.Based on the children's feelings being naive and natural, we think thatinvestigating them will highly contribute to the pedagogic purposes.
