"Criss Cross"로 뉴베리 메달상을 수상한 저명한 동화작가인 린 레이 퍼킨스의 어린이용 그림책입니다.

가족 여행을 떠난 날, 엄마는 딸과 아들에게 즉석카메라를 하나씩 줬습니다. 그리고 여행 중에 기억에 남을만한 장면들을 찍어서 노트에 붙이고, 간단한 메모를 적게 했지요. 처음 찍은 사진은 실수로 그만 발을 찍어버리고 말았네요. 여행 목적지는 현재는 방치되어서 사용하고 있지 않는 오래 된 가족농장, 그곳에는 이미 할머니와 할아버지가 먼저 도착해서 기다리고 있습니다. 1박 2일의 긴 운전 끝에 마침내 농장에 도착. 그곳은 아빠의 어릴 적 추억이 깃든 곳이죠. 아이들은 이곳에서 어떤 소중한 추억을 만들어갈까요?

What is 하드커버? 양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다. 판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

Book Description
Snap!
With their new cameras
Snap!
a brother and sister
Snap!

take pictures of their vacation.
But when they look at their photographs they see:

1. The back of Dad's head
2. Feet
3. A container of noodles
That's it?

Does 1 + 2 + 3 = summer vacation?
What about how it felt to swim in the lake? What about the stories their cousins told and the taste of a just-invented strawberry and whipped cream dessert?
For those memories-the memories of summer and the memories of family that mean the most-they need to look someplace else. Someplace deep inside. Someplace permanent.



School Library Journal *Starred Review*
This deceptively simple, thoroughly engaging story is a child's account of her family's cross-country road trip (complete with hand-drawn maps) to visit the old homestead. Before they embark, Mom gives her two children instant cameras and notebooks to document their travels. But the kids quickly discover that what they record on film has little in common with what they actually experience. The snapshot of the back of Dad's head as he drives, for instance, fails in every way to capture the way it felt to be in the car with him at that moment. Photos of grass, a mountain, the sky, or cropped feet in no way reflect the endless days of rain, the secret swimming spot, or activities in the lake. The youngsters also find that on the very best days-when the large extended family gathers at the farm-they are just too busy to take any pictures. Perkins's colorful, line-intensive illustrations incorporate a lot of detailed thought bubbles and plenty of peeks inside the narrator's notebook. Vibrant watercolor renderings include the lush scenery from a variety of perspectives, the characters and their activities, their vivid imaginings, and the kids' captioned "photos." The whole is infused with wonderfully understated accidental, but child-centered humor. A journey into family dynamics, shared experience, and memory that is well worth the trip.


Booklist *Starred Review*
Many books idealize the joys of family vacations. Here's a more honest look at the way those trips make memories. Mom, Dad, son, and daughter, who narrates, have high hopes about a trip to the old family farm. But the drive is long and boring, and when they arrive, Dad sees happy memories, while everyone else sees old furniture and dust. It's downhill from there. Rain falls and falls some more. The local lake is hard to find, and rain ruins that outing, too. A memorial service for their dad's recently deceased great-aunt seems as though it will be the worst part of the trip, but a funny thing happens. Family appears; stories are swapped; bonds are forged. In the beginning, the narrator's poorly shot photographs, always of meaningless things, provide a kind of visual hook. After the extended family arrives, the girl doesn't take pictures. She's too busy making memories, "the kind I can keep in my mind." Perkins, who won the Newbery Medal for Criss-Cross (2005), shows she is equally adept at illustration. Using many overhead perspectives and with an eye for small details, she offers watercolors that beautifully capture all that is real about family vacations: boredom, disappointment, fun, and love.
