[ 책 소개 ]
미국 중동부의 펜실베니아주에서 공동체를 이루며 살고 있는 아미쉬 마을을 배경으로 한편의 시와도 같은 Jane Yolen의 문장과 인상주의 화가의 명화를 보는 듯한 아름다운 그림이 멋진 조화를 이루는 책입니다.
Yoder네 가족의 헛간에 벼락이 떨어져서 큰 화재가 일어 났습니다. 하루 아침에 잿더미로 변한 헛간... 하지만 아미쉬 사람들은 이웃이 어려울 때 서로 힘을 합쳐 도움을 주지요. 곧 마을에는 Yoder씨네 헛간을 새로 짓기 위한 회의가 열리고 마을 사람들은 모두 모여 작업을 시작합니다. Yoder씨네 8살된 아들 매튜도 헛간을 새로 짓는 동안 중요한 임무를 맡았습니다...
잔잔한 감동을 주는 이야기이며, 특히 캔버스 위에 그린 아름다운 유화그림은 감상할 가치가 있습니다.

Annotation
Eight-year-old Matthew tells what happens when fire destroys the barn on his family's farm and all the Amish neighbors come to rebuild it in one day.
From the Publisher
This powerful and triumphant story is told by a young Amish boy whose family's barn is destroyed in a huge fire. The Amish community comes together to build a new barn, bringing tools, wood, dozens of workers, and food to feed them all. Jane Yolen's lyrical prose and Bernie Fuch's illuminating oil paintings deftly capture the spirit of Amish barn raising.
Publisher's Weekly
Work of the hands, faith and community spirit are constants that eight-year-old Matthew has always known growing up on a Pennsylvania Amish farm. These things make all the difference when lightning burns his family's barn to the ground. When a barn-raising is organized, he despairs of being thought too young to help despite his father's praise for his work skills; eventually, the organizer, Samuel Stulzfoot, gives Matthew a special and important task. Yolen (The Girl in the Golden Bower) uses atmospheric metaphors--blisters are compared to "the barley in Mama's soup" and the barn grows "like a giant flower in the field." Her vision of the Amish seems rose-colored--not even the fire disturbs the underlying calm--but both the fire and the one-day barn-raising carry palpable excitement. In Fuchs's (Ragtime Tumpie) similarly idealized oil paintings, the Amish characters, clad in their traditional garb, move against radiant, broadly brushed pastoral settings. The new barn glows golden in the light of the new moon; the jars of preserves on the kitchen counter gleam as the sun pours in. The mood, never broken, is the real star of the book. Ages 4-8.
School Library Journal
Time-honored traditions of interdependence and cooperation are celebrated in a heartwarming story of an Amish barn raising. Matthew Yoder relates the events of his eighth summer when a fire consumes his family's barn. Four days later, neighbors rally to have a "frolic" and build a new one; however, the boy is concerned there will not be a task for him to perform. When expert builder Samuel Stultzfoot tells the child he's needed to relay instructions to the men, he is honored to be assigned such an important role. At the end of the day, the family gives thanks for their good neighbors and the barn. Matthew's "Amen" is a mere whisper but his satisfaction in a job well done speaks volumes. Luminous, impressionistic-style oil paintings reveal images of Amish life: the horse-drawn buggies, the unadorned clothing, the camaraderie and industriousness of the people. Direct and reflected light warm the full-page illustrations with gold, copper, and brown hues. Poetic language and stunning artwork pay tribute to a close-knit lifestyle and a commitment to family and community.-Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
Kirkus Reviews
A celebration of the Amish spirit of community summoned for a one-day barn raising. Lightning-struck, the Yoder family's barn burns to the ground, but before the week is out neighbors gather and, under the direction of grave, gray- bearded Samuel Stulzfoot, put up a new one. Too old to join the children, too young to help the men, eight-year-old Matthew is disheartened at being left out, until Stulzfoot enlists him to carry instructions to the builders. Yolen (with Bruce Coville, Armageddon, p. 975) frames Matthew's narrative in rhythmic, literary cadencesþ"fingers of flame grabbed at the barn. The sky filled with blue ropes of smoke; a boy could climb them up to Heaven, if he were so willing"þthat give the event a ritualistic air. Fuchs applies paint so thinly that the texture of the canvas becomes part of each scene, while the dominant colors are stately, opaque red-browns. The dimly seen background shapes and slightly unfocused foreground figures are seen in a russet light that looks smoky in firelit scenes and gives later ones a summery haze. The details of barn construction are passed over, but the central place a barn occupies on an Amish farm is clearly established. (Picture book. 6-8) |
