The farmer reluctantly rescues the little clown, and over the course of one day together, the two of them make some surprising discoveries about themselves—and about life!
Sweet, funny, and moving, this wordless picture book from a master of the form and the creator of The Boss Baby speaks volumes and will delight story lovers of all ages.
一个是善良无私的农夫。在遇到小丑之前,他独自一人,每天垦地、劳作,日复一日,平淡度日;一个是意外遗落的小丑。在遇到农夫之前,他和伙伴们,每天以表演为生,供人逗乐。因为一次偶然的相遇,一次毫无保留的相识,农夫成了小丑的守护者,陪伴他、逗他开心、带着他工作,还一起野餐,农夫重拾童心,小丑脸上也露出真实的笑容。是爱,让他们的生命从此有了新的颜色,新的味道;是爱,让他们收获了温暖,收获了彼此。
这是一则动人暖心的故事。无言抒写和歌颂了人与人之间朴实、真挚的感情,小丑和农夫从陌生人到成为彼此的伴侣,这份感情不是亲情,胜似亲情。两个互不相识的人,却给予了彼此快乐的相处时光。该书用多元的版式设计,不仅丰富了画面的阅读体验,也增加了读图的趣味性;插图中柔和细腻的笔触,古朴怀旧的色调,恰如其分地呈现柔软温暖的情感和氛围。
