Johannes, a free dog, lives in an urban park by the sea. His job is to be the Eyes—to see everything that happens within the park and report back to the park’s elders, three ancient Bison. His friends—a seagull, a raccoon, a squirrel, and a pelican—work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure the Equilibrium is in balance.
But changes are afoot. More humans arrive in the park. A new building, containing mysterious and hypnotic rectangles, goes up. And then there are the goats—an actual boatload of goats—who appear, along with a shocking revelation that changes Johannes’s view of the world.
Lushly illustrated with old world paintings and new artwork from Caldecott honoree Shawn Harris, this story about friendship, beauty, liberation (and running very, very fast), will make readers of all ages see the world around them in a wholly new way.
2024纽伯瑞金奖,一部关于自由、友谊和梦想的暖心童话,和《夏洛的网》一样精彩动人,在这令人恐慌的变化世界中,专注生命里最重要的事,做你自己,勇敢追梦,挑战未知旅程
《眼睛和不可能》是一个关于自由、友谊、奔跑和追梦的暖心动物童话故事。约翰尼斯是一只自由的狗,一只跑得像光一样快的狗!他和朋友们住在海边的一个城市公园里。他是公园里的“眼睛”,每天在公园里奔跑,把他所看到的一切报告给三只古老的野牛——平衡的守护者。
突然有一天,平衡被打破了。人类在公园里建造了一座奇怪的新建筑,还有一种全新的动物来到了公园——而且有几百只!约翰尼斯必须跑得更快,看得更清楚。但他最终要做的不仅仅是跑和看——他要解救所有的朋友们,带他们开启一段不可能的旅程。
这个故事告诉我们:在这个充满变化的世界里,我们依然可以拥有爱和友谊,拥有对美和梦想的追寻,依然可以专注生命里最重要的事,做你自己,有你自己评判事物的尺度,依然可以随时出发,挑战未知的旅程。
