Trying

SOLD OUT

年老いた彫刻家の仕事を見つめていた少年がいました。彼の仕事を見て、少年は、美しいものを作っている夢を見るようになりました。

少年は彫刻家と同じように石を運び、彫刻を作りはじめるのです。
けれども思った通りの形になりません。彼はまた彫刻家のもとを訪れ、たくさんのアドバイス受けます。

それは、美しいものを作るための、とても簡単で当たり前のことなのですが、乗り越えるのは大変です。
そして、それはまるで、人生を豊かに生きていくための、人生の先輩からのアドバイスのようです。

静寂の中で、形あるものを生み出す音が響き渡る、美しく思慮深い絵本です。

Annotation:
"How will you know what's possible if you don't try? This is a story for anyone who has ever felt like a beginner, or had doubts, or worried they weren't good enough. It's a story for those who have experienced the pain of trying something new and not having it turn out as they had hoped. So, in many ways, it is a sotry for every one of us. Because at some point in our lives, we will all fail. Failure can be disappointing, and even heartbreaking, but the story doesn't end there. Because failure has so much to offer. It's a necessary step to learning, to growing, to getting better. It can show us how badly we want something--and how hard we are willing to get it. It challenges us to be brave, to take heart, and to try again. And yes, there will be times when you'll question yourself. You may want to give up. But if you believe--if you practice and press on--you can do amazing things."--Provided by publisher.
