In the tradition of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, acclaimed author Richard Jackson and award-winning illustrator Suzy Lee prove you can chase away any grey and gloomy day with just the right attitude, and a little bit of color.
Why spend a rainy day inside? As three children embrace a grey day, they seems to beckon the bright as they jump, splash, and dance outside, chasing the rain away. The day’s palette shifts from greys to a hint of blue, then more blue. Then green! Then yellow! Until the day is a technicolor extravaganza that would make Mary Poppins proud. A joyous homage to the power of a positive attitude.
兄弟姐妹三人待在家中,窗外是大雨天。男孩随手打开了收音机,画面上出现蓝色的音符,所有人振奋起来……为什么非得在屋里度过一个下雨天呢?当他们主动拥抱这个灰蒙蒙的日子,在雨中蹦跳着,溅起水花,在外面跳舞,追逐雨点;他们就给自己带来了光亮,让这一天从灰色调子里转换出一点点蓝色,然后是更多的蓝色,接着是绿色!黄色!直到这一天成为一场色彩绚丽的盛会。
