ぼくは姉のことを知らない。 知っているのは壁にかかっている灰色の写真だけだ。 ある夜、ぼくのベッドの脇に姉が立っていた。 おきて。時間よ。 ぼくは姉と一緒に外に出て自転車にのった。 森を抜け、草原を走り、姉が連れて行ってくれたところは……。 写真の中でしか知らない姉はどんな人だったのでしょうか。 そして、夢のような姉とのひと時を過ごしたあと、少年はどんな気持ちになったのでしょう。 オランダの絵本作家の抒情的な絵本です。 Bigger Than a Dream Contributor(s): Aerts, Jef (Author), Törnqvist, Marit (Illustrator), Colmer, David (Translator) EAN: 9781646140206 Publisher: Levine Querido Binding: Hardcover Pub Date: November 03, 2020 Target Age Group: 04 to 08 Physical Info: 1.27 cms H x 25.91 cms L x 20.83 cms W (0.39 kgs) 48 pages Annotation: "Originally published in the Netherlands by Querido"--Page facing title page. Publisher Marketing: People fear death (apparently just a tiny bit less than public speaking). We don't know how to talk about it, especially to children, and we're afraid to bring it up for fear of making people sadder. Yet children, especially, have questions, and this incredibly gentle and surprisingly light story is full of both comfort and vividly imagined answers. The first one gives the book its title: A boy hears the voice of his sister calling him one day, a sister he's never met because she died before he was born. The sister in the faded photograph on the wall. So that night he asks his mother what death is like and she tells him, It's like dreaming, only bigger. That's lovely, but he still has questions, which it turns out his sister can answer! On a dreamy, carefree adventure they ride their bikes together, (not always on the ground), visiting places that were special to her when she was alive. And she talks to him in the older sister, teasing, straightforward, loving way that is exactly what he needs. (It turns out that death is not the only thing that can be Bigger Than a Dream.) Much, much more than bibliotherapy, this is a work of art that speaks with honesty and tenderness about one of life's great mysteries、

Long out of print, Children of the Northlights introduces readers young and old to siblings Lise and Lasse and to the captivating Sami people and culture of northern Scandinavia. At times mischievous and at others quite courageous, Lisa and Lasse, and their Sami culture, are brought brilliantly to life in the d'Aulaires' illustrations. This remarkable sister and brother live at the very top of Norway--to Lise and Lasse, seemingly at the very top of the world. All bundled up against the polar winter in their coats of fur and furry shoes, they look at times like two little bears rolling in the snow. Beneath the bright dancing of the northern lights, we follow Lise and Lasse as they enjoy the long winter days and polar nights: playing pranks on their family, chasing and playing with their reindeer Silverside and Snowwhitedeer, skiing, taking hot saunas to stay clean, and staying warm while snowstorms rage across the land. Lise and Lasse hunker down in their warm tent and wait for the sun to return, which, of course, it always does. When the sun comes back in spring, it's time to go to school in the village (which Lise and Lasse happily do only after instructing their dogs to take very good care of Silverside and Snowwhitedeer while they're away). Inspired directly by a remarkable journey the d'Aulaires took to northern Europe and their time spent among the Sami, Children of the Northlights is a brightly illustrated portrait and celebration of the Sami people, culture, and snow-covered landscapes of the frozen north, from two of the twentieth century's greatest storytellers.

ある日、おじいちゃんがいなくなった。 仕立て屋を営んでいたおじいちゃん。 彼の靴、彼のジャケット、彼の友人たち。 少年は、おじいちゃんの面影と匂いに包まれながら、ゆっくりと静かに、おじいちゃんのことを思うのです。 この絵本は、一見、”死”をテーマにしているように見えます。 確かに、おじいちゃんがいなくなることからはじまる物語ですが、直接的な表現を避けています。 この絵本は、想うこと、がテーマになっているのだろうと思います。ふわふわとあたたかく包み込まれるような、想いがあふれている韓国のイラストレーターの絵本です。 One Day Contributor(s): Lee, Juck (Author), Kim, Seung-Youn (Illustrator), Minamoto, Asuka (Translator), Chung, Dianne (Translator), Lee, Juck (Translator) EAN: 9781592703135 Publisher: Enchanted Lion Books Binding: Hardcover Pub Date: November 30, 2021 Target Age Group: 04 to 07 Physical Info: 1.27 cms H x 25.65 cms L x 19.81 cms W (0.41 kgs) 48 pages Annotation: A gentle, delicately illustrated story, told from the perspective of a young boy who has lost a beloved grandfather.

The Hapless Child Contributor(s): Gorey, Edward (Author) EAN: 9780764944680 Publisher: Pomegranate Communications Binding: Hardcover Pub Date: January 01, 2008 Copyright Date: 2008 Physical Info: 1.52 cms H x 19.05 cms L x 18.54 cms W (0.39 kgs) 64 pages Publisher Marketing: This sorry tale of petite Charlotte Sophia's catastrophic, short life is classic Gorey. The poor child is orphaned and treated mercilessly by schoolmates and ruffians alike, and only barely survives--for a time, anyway--by the skin of her baby teeth. Even her doll suffers a grusome end. The little girl's journeiy is perfect fodder for Edward Gorey's brilliant penwork, so detailed and perfectly wrought that it's hard to believe he could master these images at such a small size (the illustrations reproduced in the book ar the same size as his original drawings). The Hapless Child is widely regarded as one of Gorey's best books; happily it is now back in print after an absence of many years, so that we can all enjoy weeping for CHarlotte Sophia again...and again, and again. #絵本 #児童書 #洋書 #洋書絵本 #えほん #書店 #本屋 #デザイン #イラスト #アート #芸術

They soon realize their mistake, as harrowing sounds and evidence of foul play emerge. When humongous hairy bugs, famished carnivorous plants, ferocious fruit-guarding bears, and a sinister strangling snake take charge, the family's ominous feelings turn to full-on panic but where's the exit? Edward Gorey leads us through this nefarious garden with a light step. His unmistakable drawings paired with engaging couplets produce giggles, not gasps. Perhaps "The Evil Garden" is a morality tale; perhaps it's simply an enigmatic entertainment. Whatever the interpretation, it's a prime example of the iconic storytelling genius that is Edward Gorey. #絵本 #児童書 #洋書 #洋書絵本 #えほん #書店 #本屋 #デザイン #イラスト #アート #芸術

エミリー・ウィンフィールド・マーティンさんの絵本です。 すべてのものは、たくさんの捉え方があります。それはよく見える時もあれば悪く見えるときもある。 結局のところ、それはその人の捉え方次第です。 この絵本は、すべてのものが贈り物で大事な存在であることを教えてくれます。 小さな些細なこと、たとえば静かな空間での贈り物と騒がしい時間での贈り物、といったふうに両面からみて、それは対比ではなくある一つの方向から見て、すべてが贈り物、と感じさせられるように、詩的な言葉を重ねていきながら、私たちの心に染み込むように、教えてくれます。 またエミリー・ウィンフィールド・マーティンさんの挿絵がどこか懐かしく、美しく、言葉とうまく調和しているような気がします。 This Is a Gift for You Contributor(s): Martin, Emily Winfield (Author), Martin, Emily Winfield (Illustrator) EAN: 9781524714161 Publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers Binding: Hardcover Pub Date: November 30, 2021 Target Age Group: 03 to 07 Physical Info: 1.27 cms H x 25.40 cms L x 24.38 cms W (0.41 kgs) 40 pages Annotation: Illustrations and simple, rhyming text reveal a parent's wishes for a child, such as being alone and not-alone, quiet and loud, enjoying moments shared, just the two of them.
