The Swing
¥4,550
SOLD OUT
海を見下ろす丘の上にブランコがありました。 ここにはたくさんの人々が時を過ごしていきます。 子供時代、青年時代、壮年から晩年まで長い時間を、ブランコと共に過ごしていく人もいました。 ブランコは、ずっとその場所にありました。そこで遊び、佇み、そして遠くの水平線を見つめる人々がたくさんいました。 出会いの場所であり、別れの場所であり、喜びの場所であり、悲しみの場所でした。 季節は移り変わり、ブランコの周りの風景も美しく入れ替わっていきます。 目をつむってブランコにすわると、波の音と風の音が身体を包んでいきます。海の秘密を感じるように。 やわらかく輝く色彩で描かれた、丘の上のブランコをめぐる長い時の絵本です。 ブリッタ・テッケントラップさんは、小さなお子さまが楽しめる可愛らしい絵本をたくさん描いていますが、何冊かは、こういった詩情豊かな絵本を出版されています。 彼女のこの詩的な感性は、本当に素晴らしく、言葉とイラストが美しく融合しているような気がします。 The Swing Contributor(s): Teckentrup, Britta (Author) EAN: 9783791375366 Publisher: Prestel Junior Binding: Hardcover Pub Date: March 07, 2023 Target Age Group: 04 to 08 Physical Info: 2.03 cms H x 21.08 cms L x 21.84 cms W (0.73 kgs) 160 pages Publisher Marketing: Britta Teckentrup's latest book for children of every age is a poetic masterpiece about the passage of time. A swing on a hill overlooking the water is at the center of this lovely meditation on childhood, growing older, friendship and loss. "The swing has always been in this place--ever since I can remember," declares the narrator. "Here we stood together, looking out to sea, waiting for something to change. . . for something new, something exciting. But every day was the same." But as seasons change and years pass, things do change. Friends come and go, lovers meet and kiss, spring turns to autumn, and the swing set grows creaky with age. All of these changes are gorgeously communicated by Teckentrup's signature collage paintings that employ soft, radiant colors and simple yet powerful compositions. With its equally compelling text, readers of every age will experience time as a gentle but inescapable force, bringing about new experiences. And as the narrator grows older and wiser, readers themselves will understand that life's most important memories can never disappear.

Eugene the architect designs buildings that are incredibly straight and orderly. He is very proud of his latest work--an enormous house with perfectly perpendicular walls and windows.

Instead of cutting it down, Eugene studies the tree, marveling at the way its branches, roots, leaves, and trunk grow in elegant proportions. Suddenly, Eugene sees nature in an entirely new way--not as the opposite of precise order, but as something with its own type of perfection. Thibaut Rassat's playful illustrations introduce young readers to basic architectural and geometric principles while amusing them with Eugene's prickly personality and joyful discovery. They will come away with a new appreciation for architecture and for the unexpected twists and turns that make the natural world--and our life in it--so fascinating.
