Milo Imagines the World BSW1460

US$22.95

Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To pass the time, he studies the faces around him and makes pictures of their lives. There's the whiskered man with the crossword puzzle; Milo imagines him playing solitaire in a cluttered apartment full of pets. There's the wedding-dressed woman with a little dog peeking out of her handbag; Milo imagines her in a grand cathedral ceremony. And then there's the boy in the suit with the bright white sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as Milo--walking the same path, going to the exact same place--Milo realizes that you can't really know anyone just by looking at them.

世界也许和你想的不一样,
孩子,你真的认识它吗?你也真的认识自己吗?
每周,米洛都要坐上长长的地铁,去很远的地方看妈妈。为了打发时间,米洛开始观察身边的乘客,想象并描绘他们的生活。
米洛的画笔下,穿着婚纱的女人即将奔赴一场盛大的婚礼,装扮整洁的小男孩享受着王子般的待遇;但玩字谜的大叔过着贫穷而孤独的生活,街头艺人成了人人提防的问题少女……米洛也想象着,不知道在其他人眼中,自己又是怎样的呢?
这是一个关于自我发现、自我认同的故事,也是一个颠覆既定印象、发现多元可能的成长启示,同时也是纽伯瑞金奖、凯迪克银牌得主克里斯蒂安对自己童年境遇的回顾和反思。
故事的后,小米洛在意想不到的真相和妈妈温柔的怀抱中与自己达成了和解,触摸到了真实的幸福。
孩子对自我的认识和肯定,其实是通过自己对周边世界的观察和想象中得来的。透过这本洋溢着温暖、想象与希望的绘本,也许,你也能认识一个全新的“自己”,找到自己存在于世界的独特身份和位置。
