《ISLA AND THE SKY》
Isla最喜歡天空,因為在她眼中,天空每天都有不同的表情:有時明亮湛藍,有時烏雲密布、雷聲轟隆,雨滴還映照著小鎮的模樣。她用畫筆記錄天空的每一種色彩,也覺得每一種「心情」都很美。
可是,小鎮上的人們只喜歡晴天,一遇到下雨、陰天就不停抱怨。天空聽見了,決定努力讓自己永遠開心,沒想到壓抑自己的情緒,反而讓世界變得失去色彩,連Isla的畫也漸漸失去了生命力。
當天空終於快要「爆發」,Isla能不能告訴她:不用每天都微笑,也不用害怕展現真實的自己。
一本溫柔又充滿想像力的繪本,透過天空與女孩的故事,帶孩子認識情緒、接納自己,也感受藝術如何讓我們看見每一種情緒的美。
When Sky rains or clouds over, however, all the other townspeople grumble and moan. Sky decides she should just try to be happy all the time, so people aren't cross with her. But this is harder than it looks and soon the world below-and Isla's paintings-start to suffer. Can Isla convince big, bold Sky to let all her feelings and colours show? What happens to Sky when she is on the brink of bursting?
Isla and the Sky is a gorgeous new picture book from Greg Stobbs, celebrating the power of art and emotion.
