繼Green 和Blue 系列最新作
Dark Red, Light Red, Lost red, Bright red..離群的小狐狸,獨自穿梭在黑暗的森林,陷入困境,最後在善意的幫助下而獲救。紅色代表了憤怒和敵意,卻也象徵著愛與同理心。顏色不只可以引發情感共鳴,也可以開啟對世界的不同想像。每頁一個短句皆以red結尾,不斷重複的節奏、不同視覺意象的紅色,巧妙串接內心湧現的情感,簡潔的文字背後是極大的想像和自由解讀空間。
2007年蘿拉.維卡羅.希格(Laura Vaccaro Seeger)開始這項創作計畫,她先是以Green《綠》連結環境議題,並成功獲得凱迪克榮譽獎。蘿拉原本沒有要發展成系列書的打算,但她感覺到繼續創作的必要,於是又接著創作以忠誠和失去為主題的Blue《藍》。看著世界的紛爭不斷,蘿拉在編輯好友Neal Porter的鼓勵下,將她的感受轉化為創作,於是最新作品Red《紅》也因此誕生。蘿拉表示,三本書的主角可以視為互有關連,Blue《藍》中成長的男孩是Green《綠》故事結尾小女孩的爸爸,而幾年之後,小女孩在Red《紅》扮演了關鍵角色。
From the Two-time Caldecott Honor Award winning author/illustrator of Green and Blue comes Red, a story about a lost fox that explores emotions-- fear, love, anger, and more-- through the use of vivid color.
With a combination of sumptuous illustrations, ingenious die-cut pages, and simple text, Red is a beautiful companion to the Caldecott Honor Book Green and the highly acclaimed Blue. In this book, award-winning artist Laura Vaccaro Seeger once again turns her attention to the ways in which color evokes emotion. Dark Red,Light Red,
Lost red,
Bright red.Separated from its family, a lone fox experiences, anger, fear, and ultimately love as it journeys home. Lost and alone, he makes his way through a dark forest, injures his paw, has glancing encounters with humans, and finds himself trapped in a cage, before an act of kindness returns him to the wilderness.
