Good Night, Teddy | |
Patricia MacLachlan was born on the prairie, and to this day carries a small bag of prairie dirt with her wherever she goes to remind her of what she knew first.She is the author of many well-loved novels and picture books, including Sarah, Plain and Tall, winner of the Newbery Medal; its sequels, Skylark and Caleb's Story; and Three Names, illustrated by Mike Wimmer.She lives in western Massachusetts.
In Her Own Words...
"One thing I've learned with age and parenting is that life comes in circles. Recently, I was having a bad time writing. I felt disconnected. I had moved to a new home and didn't feel grounded. The house, the land was unfamiliar to me. There was no garden yet. Why had I sold my old comfortable 1793 home? The one with the snakes in the basement, mice everywhere, no closets. I would miss the cold winter air that came in through the electrical sockets.
"I had to go this day to talk to a fourth-grade class, and I banged around the house, complaining. Hard to believe, since I am so mild mannered and pleasant, isn't it? What did I have to say to them? I thought what I always think when I enter a room of children. What do I know?
"I plunged down the hillside and into town, where a group of fourth-grade children waited for me in the library, freshly scrubbed, expectant. Should I be surprised that what usually happens did so? We began to talk about place, our living landscapes. And I showed them my little bag of prairie dirt from where I was born. Quite simply, we never got off the subject of place. Should I have been so surprised that these young children were so concerned with place, or with the lack of it, their displacement? Five children were foster children, disconnected from their homes. One little boy's house had burned down, everything gone. "Photographs, too," he said sadly. Another told me that he was moving the next day to place he'd never been. I turned and saw the librarian, tears coming down her face.
"'You know,' I said. "Maybe I should take this bag of prairie dirt and toss it into my new yard. I'll never live on the prairie again. I live here now. The two places could mix together that way!" "No!" cried a boy from the back. "Maybe the prairie dirt will blow away!" And then a little girl raised her hand. "I think you should put that prairie dirt in a glass bowl in your window so that when you write you can see it all the time. So you can always see what you knew first."
"When I left the library, I went home to write. What You Know First owes much to the children of the Jackson Street School: the ones who love place and will never leave it, the ones who lost everything and have to begin again. I hope for them life comes in circles, too."
网友对Good Night, Teddy的评论
实物与网页上给出的图片内容不符，总共八页的布书，最后一页内容还是空白的，就是块蓝布，而网上给出的八张图片的最后一张末页图，是有内容的。我说怎么这种海外购，下单后两天就到手了，原来是把之前积压的残次品拿出来直接快递给我了。中国国际图书贸易集团公司，呵呵。。。
风太大把文字吹跑了吗！100多的书就这印刷。退货了。
虽然较贵,却是送给低龄儿童的理想礼物, 设计很美,很有创意.
做工很好，就是好贵。
实物比较一般，手感粗糙，颜色也很暗沉单一。宝宝不喜欢
书的质量很好，设计超赞。让大人都很喜欢。给即将出生的孩子囤货。
每天洗澡洗好当我拿出这本布书宝宝就很开心，每天睡前必读。我读书的时候她也不会动来动去了，很认真躺着和我一起看书。她喜欢玩小熊的衣服，一只手换到另一只手都能玩好久哈哈。
不是封面那只熊，跟商品图片内页那只比质量也差得多，文字内容不一样，开头和最后还各缺一页，8页的书还给我少两页？果断退。
