◎主題:環境保護◎LEVEL:1 以類似前作《Windows》的風格,作者Jeannie Baker再度以無字書的方式與精巧的拼貼藝術,呈現出一個城市環境變遷的故事。攤開這本繪本,每兩頁展現出一幅畫面,那是透過同一個窗戶所看到的景觀,隨著時間的流逝而逐漸改變。我們從中見證了一個家庭從遷居、生女,到女兒的成長、出嫁,甚至是再下一代的出生歷程。除此之外,在這段時間中,我們也會看到當地居民不願見到自己的家園逐漸淹沒在現代化之中,而開始將各式各樣的當地動植物帶回來養育種植。到了最後,居民的努力也讓家居環境起了令人驚異的變化。在這本充滿了人文關懷的繪本中,每個畫面都可以讓讀者發現許多值得深入體會的小細節,也讓人重新省思「家」的意涵。
A family.A house.A neighborhood.A place to play.A place to feel safe.Little by little, baby Tracy grows. She and her neighbors begin to rescue their street. Together, children and adults plant grass and trees and bushes in the empty spaces. They paint murals over old graffiti. They stop the cars. Everything begins to blossom.In Jeannie Baker''s striking, natural collages, an urban community reclaims its land. A drab city street becomes a living, thriving neighborhood -- a place to call home.
