"Adults are so hard to understand! They are constantly complaining about life. Yet, their situation isn't that bad at all. You don't have a mom and dad constantly telling you 'don't do this, don't do that.' You don't have a teacher getting mad at you because you didn't do your homework. You don't have a school you are forced to wake up and go to every single day! What more do you want from life? Oh, what a wonderful world! It's completely unfair! Life should be 'living the life' for us kids too! But how?"

In Living the Life!, Şermin Yaşar—one of the most beloved voices in children's literature—embraces her young readers with a laugh-out-loud novel that perfectly captures the hilarious injustices of childhood. Turning the tables on the adult world, this delightful story encourages children to question the rules, find humor in the everyday, and dream up ways to make their own lives just as "wonderful" as the grown-ups'.
