绘本解读 : When the wind stops (当风停下来)


是一本很好的绘本书,安静、充满关怀和哲思而又不失想像力,图也和文字一样的美,线条流畅、交错,色彩静谧柔和。
  

一天快要结束的时候,孩子躺在床上不断地向母亲发问“xx到哪里去了呢?”问了将消失的太阳、问了月亮、问了山、问了风……母亲坐在床边,一个问题又一个问题耐心地回答孩子,然后告诉他,没有什么东西是会永远消失的,它们只是去了另一个地方。

就这样,透过和妈妈之间的一问一答,小男孩学到自然界永无休止的循环,並了解所有的事物只是换了地方,再以不同的方式出现罢了。这是一本引領儿童进入自然科学的绘本佳作。

Where does the wind go when it stops?

When a little boy asks this question at the end of a happy day, his mother explains that the wind does not stop-it blows away to make the trees dance somewhere else.

Reassuringly, she tells him that nothing ever ends, it simply begins in another place or in another way. Rain goes back into the clouds to create new storms, waves fold back upon the sea to become new waves, and the day moves on to make way for the night, bringing the darkness and stars for the little boy to dream in.

Charlotte Zolotow's lyrical prose and Stefano Vitale's rich illustrations make this a beautiful celebration of the cycle of life.
