Short-listed for the Governor General's Literary Awards, Young People's Literature – Illustrated Books
“…there is no denying that this a beautiful piece of bookmaking. The watercolor-and-ink artwork has both heft and humor, especially in the joyful depictions of the manuscripts. The shift from the darkness of the early spreads to the bright color of the characters' time together captures the pleasure of the relationship. The final spread of daybreak, meanwhile, is irresistible. Readers who consider the story’s underlying messages about necessities, companionship, and fulfillment will come away enriched.” — Booklist, Starred Review
"A stunningly illustrated meditative ode to the simple joys of human-animal companionship and the pursuit of knowledge." — School Library Journal, Starred Review.
“It’s a sophisticated and subtle story about the pursuit of joy—one that will easily resonate with readers young and old.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review.
"Reminiscent of the succinct storytelling and expressive brushwork of Chris Raschka and Kevin Henkes, this quiet, historical gem will charm children and adults alike." — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review.
"The text’s subtle moral is timeless but also sings with elegiac timeliness — what a wonderful counterpoint to modern life’s hamster wheel of achievement and approval, this idea that there is poetry in every pursuit executed with purposefulness and savored with uncompetitive joy." — The New York Times
"The adaptation . . . is as unostentatious as the watercolor-and-ink illustrations, which meld a medieval spirit with a modern sense of cartooning, a juxtaposition that is fresh and seems entirely right. " — Horn Book
"Smith . . . imbues the text with contemporary visual language through his singular, elegantly minimalist graphic novel aesthetic." — Brain Pickings
"Author Jo Ellen Bogart has provided an unembellished, thoughtful text that pays tribute to the value of perseverance and dedication for one's vocation, be it humble or exalted." — Canadian Children's Book News
"This is a great book for any group of readers . . . a great book to introduce to kids who may not think they like poetry." — The Children's Writer's Guild
"Truly a wonderful book, The White Cat and the Monk expresses the richness of the relationship between the two characters." — Canadian Review of Materials
"The stylized artwork captures the timeless beauty of the poem in this simple yet meaningful picturebook, highly recommended." — Midwest Book Review
网友对The White Cat and the Monk: A Retelling of the Poem "Pangur Bán"的评论
What a lovely book. I love cats and the peacefulness of monks - that's what appealed to me. I saw this mentioned on the brainpickings twitter feed. It's the story of 2 creatures ( the cat and the monk) co- existing while relying on each other. The cat is a mouser ( he does his job) while the monk reads and theorizes ( his job). Nicely illustrated too.
This is a quiet book, a book for settling down. For an adult, it's a koan. For a child, it's soft relationship with the one who is reading.
This gem of a book uses simple, yet beautiful illustrations to bring new life to an old Irish poem. The translation flows nicely. It is sure to bring joy to both old and young.
An amazing and thoughtful retelling of the early poem from a monk. A bit of quiet in a worrisome world.
Lovely book, came right away so I can give it to my mom for Mother's day.
