In the Half Room ペーパーバック版

女の子の部屋は半分でいっぱい。
ハーフチェア、ハーフハット、ハーフテーブル、ハーフキャット……。
女の子でさえ、はんぶんこ。
半分の窓からは、半分の月明かりが部屋に注ぎ込んできますよ。

不思議な部屋は、なんだかとってもリズミカルで、もう半分を想像すると、ちょっとドキドキします。
片割れを見つけたら、はんぶんこたちは、どうなるのだろう、なんて。
そんな時、半分のドアから、ノックがトントン！
はんぶんこの女の子がやってきました！
さあて、女の子はどうしたのでしょう。

カーソン・エリスさんの、ちょっとふしぎな絵本です。

Description
From the Caldecott Honor–winning creator of Home and Du Iz Tak? comes a gorgeous and quirky tale of an extraordinary room where everything is a half. The half room is full of half things. A half chair, a half cat, even half shoes – all just as nice and weird and friendly as whole things.

When half a knock comes on half a door, who in the world could it be? With her trademark touch of magic and whimsy, Caldecott Honor winner Carson Ellis explores halves and wholes in an ingenious and thought-provoking picture book. The lightly rhyming text is soothing yet spirited, revealing the many absurdities and possibilities to be discovered in this irresistibly fanciful home. Ink and gouache illustrations featuring wry detail and velvety textures conjure a dreamlike mood while leaving space for imagining.

A celebration of the surreal and the serendipitous, and the beauty of the two together, this brilliant picture book will have readers seeing the joys of halves with whole new eyes.
