We are going through a time when our perception of home is completely changed and we nearly fit a whole life between four walls. While getting used to this situation is difficult enough for adults, everything is much more extraordinary for children. The place where they study, play, and relax is the same: home and even one room. Undoubtedly, one of the consequences of this situation is that we all start to be frantically afraid of touching each other or getting out of the home and being outside with strangers. We believe that literature should be able to meet the current needs of children. For this reason, we are here with a silent book that will open up space for us to talk about a difficult topic to talk about with children: social phobia. This silent book allows us to express our experiences that we cannot put into words without trying to put them into a certain mold. When I Leave Home is the creation of Burcu Yılmaz’s social phobia which she suffered for some years.
