The Big Umbrella BSW1339

US$18.95

By the door there is an umbrella. It is big. It is so big that when it starts to rain there is room for everyone underneath. It doesn’t matter if you are tall. Or plaid. Or hairy. It doesn’t matter how many legs you have. Don’t worry that there won’t be enough room under the umbrella. Because there will always be room. Lush illustrations and simple, lyrical text subtly address themes of inclusion and tolerance in this sweet story that accomplished illustrator Amy June Bates co-wrote with her daughter, Juniper, while walking to school together in the rain.

一把愛與包容的神奇大傘 故事從烏雲密布的大雨中展開,穿著黃色雨衣、綠色雨鞋的小女孩帶著一把微笑的紅色大傘走出門。她走進雨中,傘一打開,就展現了神奇的力量,友善的為所有需要它的生命體提供庇護,從它的主人、慢跑者、芭蕾舞者,到小狗、小鴨,甚至怪獸,不管你多高、多重、穿什麼衣服、有幾條腿,它一律歡迎接納,而且別擔心,傘下的空間一定夠這是一本令人安心的美麗繪本,簡單抒情的文字,細膩生動的圖畫,溫柔訴說著大傘無私的包容性,傘下眾生平等且互相尊重,洋溢著沉穩和樂的氛圍。作者貝茲母女在大雨中共撐一把傘時,想到了這個故事,她們希望能藉此傳播愛與包容的訊息。插畫家艾美.瓊.貝茲不僅擅長以水彩和鉛筆描繪人物與動物,在色彩和細節的安排也相當出色,大傘一身明亮的紅色與擬人化的可愛笑容,在暗沉沉的城市背景映襯下形成鮮明的對比,不僅溫暖了大家的心,也一掃雨天的陰霾,讓人充滿希望。
