A tender and funny celebration of the bond between father and son.
Going up high on Dad's shoulders is the best way to feel BIG when everything makes you feel small.
But maybe, just maybe, being down low is just as good as being up high . . .
A young boy and his dad go on a walk to the park. When the little boy starts to feel small walking through the busy streets in town, his dad puts him on his shoulders and, suddenly, it feels like he's flying! And when they reach the park with its birds that sing and leaves that rustle, the boy starts noticing things. Little things. A busy squirrel, a frog on a lily-pad, a tiny ladybird . . . and LOTS of small, amazing things that might just make him feel a little bigger inside!
A simple walk to the park is everything in this heartfelt story from Matt Hunt, illustrator of the critically acclaimed poetry anthology A Whale of a Time, which was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2023.
小時候,我們總喜歡依偎在爸爸身旁,無論是牽著、抱著或是扛坐在肩上,都能感受尊榮般的呵護; 故事裡的男孩,正是如此享受爸爸給予的溫暖.。
一起上街、一起散步、一起到公園野餐,繪者用孩子的角度下筆,從時而仰望、時而俯視的距離感,搭繪出孩子內心對爸爸的崇拜的情懷。雖然,有時候想脫離父親的協助,但回首時,還是選擇踏入父親懷抱,因為那是一種唯有親情才能撒嬌的幸福感。
搭配Qrocde,讓我們閱讀並感謝我們最愛的爸爸!
