A Day's Work BSW200

US$14.95

Francisco, a young Mexican-American boy, helps his grandfather find work as a gardener, even though the old man cannot speak English and knows nothing about gardening. The School Library Journal writes: "Bunting perfectly captures the intergenerational love and respect shared by these two characters and the man's strong sense of honesty and integrity. Himler's softly colored illustrations reflect the feelings of the characters and setting."

故事里小柯和外公满心希望能找到工作,由于外公不会说英语,小柯是唯一能和司机谈话的人。于是那个男人决定雇用他们工作,这笔钱可以为他们晚餐加菜,妈妈也会为他们感到骄傲!但是外公对园艺工作一窍不通。这份工作似乎也真的很简单,直到那位司机回来,才发现小柯没有说实话。他和外公完全做错了。就在外公想办法弥补错误的时候,小柯又发现了外公值得尊敬的一面,对自己也有新的体认。这是一本描写拉丁裔移民在美谋生的故事,正直的爷爷及时为孙子上了人生最重要的一课——要为说谎负责,结果不仅没有失去人格,还有一份正式的工作。美国图画书界黄金搭档伊夫·邦廷与罗纳德·希姆勒的代表作之一。
