A Splash of Red

本書描寫畫家 Horace Pippin 的真實人生。十九世紀末的童年時期，他便沉浸於繪畫的觸感與觀察，無論是替家人、同學，或日後的同事作畫，畫畫始終是他理解世界的方式。第一次世界大戰期間，他在戰壕中持續素描，直到一場意外讓他失去右臂的行動能力，也彷彿失去了創作的可能。然而，憑著反覆練習與耐心，他一步步重新舉起畫筆，再次投入創作，並逐漸受到關注，作品進入美國各地的畫廊與美術館。作者 Jen Bryant 以平實文字鋪陳這段歷程，插畫家 Melissa Sweet 則以拼貼與線條交織出藝術的生命力。本書榮獲 Robert F. Sibert Honor Book、Schneider Family Book Award、NCTE Orbis Pictus Award 等多項肯定。A Robert F.

Even during W.W.I, Horace filled his notebooks with drawings from the trenches . . . until he was shot. Upon his return home, Horace couldn't lift his right arm, and couldn't make any art. Slowly, w

A young boy celebrates a refreshing storm in this joyous picture book about experiencing with all your senses a cloudburst of rain on a hot summer day A boy looks up at the sky and smells the air as the first raindrops hit the ground. He listens as it begins to pour, observing all the symphony of sound this welcome downpour makes. He feels the water droplets on his skin and sees little rivulets of water on the sidewalk.

Koshiro Hata's illustrations revel in the joy of nature in Yuko Ohnari's new book featuring expressive onomatopoeia to sound out and enjoy.
