Miss Leoparda

レオパードさんは木の上で眠っていました。
眠っていないとき、彼女はバスを運転しています。
毎日、仕事に行く動物たちでいっぱいのバスを運転をしていたのです。
来る日も、来る日も。
煙を吐きながら走り去っていく黒い車が現れるまでは……。

みんなが便利で速い車を使うようになってから、レオパードさんのバスに乗る動物たちはどんどん減っていきます。
彼女は途方に暮れてしまいますが、ただ待つばかりです。

ナタリア・シャロシュビリさんの、かわいらしい動物たちがたくさん登場する絵本です。

Description
Beautiful illustrations from an internationally recognized fine artist make this fun, ecologically-minded book about a bus-driving, tree-loving leopard a standout! When Miss Leoparda isn’t sleeping in her beloved tree home, she drives the bus, taking her animal friends around town on their animal business. Every day, all of the bus’s seats are taken . .

. until the day something amazing and new appears: a little car that speeds off into the distance, leaving clouds of smoke in its wake. Intrigued, the bus’s passengers each get a car of their own, one by one, until the day that Miss Leoparda is the only one left on the bus.

But more and more cars on the road mean more and more traffic jams, more and more arguments, and fewer and fewer trees—as trees, it seems, are just getting in the way of the jammed-up travelers. Will Miss Leoparda be able to nourish a new awareness and help her community return to their senses? With humor, insight, and gorgeous art, this is a picture book about the importance of the natural world and the value of community, to read again and again.
