Within the scope of the research, the works of Şermin Yaşar in the field of children's literature, "Lo and Bird Tales", published by Doğan Children's Publishing, and "Money Tree", published by Taze Kitap, are among the root values of justice, friendship, honesty, self-control, patience. It has been examined in the context of respect, love, responsibility, patriotism and benevolence. In the research, the document review method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The data obtained are presented with examples from the texts under the related value title. According to the results of the research, it was seen that the root values were included in Şermin Yaşar's books named "Lo, Bird Tales, Money Tree". It has been seen that the values of friendship and love are mostly included in the books and the value of patriotism is the least. There are 186 value expressions in total in the books we reviewed. As a result of the study, it is thought that the three books of Şermin Yaşar that we have examined can be used in terms of transferring the root values, but they will be incomplete in this regard as the patriotism value is given little place.
