From: Stephen Wink is a prototype for an interactive picture book platform. This
-platform aims to make reading into a mindfull and thought provoking
-process by using interactive and playful elements, multiple stories
-within one narrative and sound elements. Especially today where
-consumerism and low attention span is a rising issue especially amongst
-young readers, this was an important task to tackle. The thought of Wink
-emerged to find a more sustainable and creative way of reading for
-elementary school children. Working as a children’s literature editor for years, I came to a
-realisation that picture books were turning into another object that
-kids read and consume on daily basis. Teachers and parents were finding it difficult to find new books
-constantly or were tired of rereading the same book. This project appeared as a need to explore potential bureaucratic
dramaturgies within the educational institution I was part as a student.
I was curious about educational bureaucratic mechanisms being driven by

preserved the sequence of the given sentences and by discarding the

text into a playable scenario. As a young person in the publishing sector, I believe there should be

-interactivity options and workshops with children and adults, around

-to be a more playful and interactive one which can be re-read, re-played
-and eventually re-formed non digitally to be reachable for all
-children.

At least this is what I observed -in Turkey. Teachers and parents were finding it difficult to find new -books constantly or were tired of rereading the same book.
