[ 책 소개 ]
Owen과 Kitten's First Full Moon으로 Caldecott상을 받고 olive's Ocean으로 Newbery상을 받은 저명한 작가인 Kevin Henkes가 글을 쓰고, 역시 On Market Street으로 Caldecott상을 수상한 저명한 Illustrator인 Anita Lobel이 그림을 그린, 좀처럼 보기 드문 콤비가 만든 작품입니다.
일상을 지루해 하는 소년, 조그만 개울을 건너 다른 지역으로 갔다가 길을 잃은 호기심 많은 토끼, 그리고 엄마가 심었지만 이글거리는 뜨거운 태양 아래서 자라지 못하고 땅 속에 묻혀 있는 씨앗... 뜨겁고 건조한 지역에서 소년과 토끼와 씨앗의 절망은 점점 높아만 갑니다. 그리고 그때.... 검은 먹구름이 온통 하늘을 뒤덮더니, 굵은 빗줄기를 뿌리기 시작하지요. 비는 모든 것을 바꿔놓았습니다. 소년은 신이 나서 밖으로 뛰어 나가고, 씨앗은 힘차게 자라기 시작했으며, 실개천은 제법 폭이 넓은 개울로 변해서 콸콸콸 많은 물이 흘러 갔지요. 하지만 넓어진 개울물 때문에 집으로 돌아가지 못하게 된 토끼는 겁이 났습니다. 소년은 불쌍한 토끼를 위해 나뭇가지들을 모아서 개울 위에 다리를 놓기 시작하고, 마침내 다리가 완성되자, 씨앗에서 자란 화초에 아름다운 꽃이 활짝 피었지요. 소년은 엄마를 위해 꽃을 따서 집으로 가고, 토끼도 다시 가족 품으로 돌아가고... 모든 것이 너무 행복한 결말이네요.
Kevin Henkes는 소년, 씨앗, 토끼를 통해 자연의 순환을 상징적으로 얘기해 줍니다. 미국 남서부의 건조한 사막지역을 배경으로, Anita Lobel의 마치 반고호의 회화작품을 보는 듯한 강렬하면서도 화려한 그림은 감상할만한 가치가 있습니다.

Publishers Weekly
Henkes (Kitten's First Full Moon) here concentrates on the text, interweaving the stories of a magic seed, a bored boy and a stranded rabbit into a spare narrative. Lobel (On Market Street) gives the threefold tale a Mexican or South American setting, conveyed with an illustration facing the title page: the boy and his mother, dressed in brightly patterned clothing, wave goodbye to the vaquero father as he rides off into a desert landscape. Lobel inventively emphasizes the trio of themes with pages often divided into three panels that visually tell the concurrent stories, which unfold in brief, declarative statements: "The seed was thirsty./ The rabbit was lost./ The boy was bored." Swirls of Van Gogh-esque brushwork emphasize the imminent drama in nature, while the boy's sterile white environment stresses his inactivity. The three subjects begin to intersect after a rainstorm in which the boy plays, the seed grows and the rabbit becomes trapped by a quickly filling creek bed. In complementary contrast to the minimalist story, which could take place in any setting, Lobel uses deliberate, heavy brush strokes to depict the desert's flora and fauna (purple hills, spotted frogs, prickly cactus) and vividly evokes the movement of sky and water. When the amaryllis-like flower bursts from the seed (the boy picks it for his mother, who planted it) and the rabbit arrives home (courtesy of the boy's playtime endeavors), young readers will be left with a comforting feeling of the world's interconnectedness (even the father returns in the final spread).
School Library Journal
Original and fresh, Henkes's latest surprise is a collaboration with Lobel, who provides watercolor and gouache illustrations in a style reminiscent of Van Gogh. Set in the Southwest, this circular story about a seed, a rabbit, and a boy is reinforced by the rounded forms in the artist's highly textured scenes. The moon, the sun, the glow enveloping the seed and the child, the frenetic lines of motion surrounding the rabbit and the arc of the rainbow all serve to reinforce the cycles of life that are the subject of this drama. The just-planted seed doesn't grow, the rabbit (who has hopped over the narrow part of a creek) is lost, and the boy is bored-until it rains. Catalyst for all that follows, the storm swells the river; thus, the rabbit is prevented from retracing his steps, the boy is inspired to build a bridge from sticks, the hibiscus is nourished, and the rabbit has a way to return home. The minimal text is paired with one-page scenes, full spreads, and triple panels as dictated by the pace of the plot. In the end, the seed planted by the mother becomes a present from her son; the family portrait depicts the woman finding a spot for the bloom and father and child preparing to read a book on bridges. A satisfying look at the interplay of nature, time, and love.
Kirkus Reviews
In a rich landscape that could be Mexico or the Southwest, a woman plants a seed; her son can't think of anything to do; and a little rabbit crosses a tiny bit of water "narrow as a ribbon." When the rains come, the seed starts growing, the boy is excited, and the rabbit gets "wet and scared." When the rain stops, the boy starts to build a bridge across the creek, now "wide as a door" and green shoots make a flower. There's a rainbow, the rabbit gets home crossing the bridge, and the boy brings the flower to his mother. Everyone was "so happy!" Using very few words, Henkes makes this marvelous, evocative tale sing. Lobel's brilliantly colored watercolor-and-gouache paintings capture both the shadows and the golden light, the hills and the scrub. The mother's dark braids and brightly embroidered clothing contrast nicely with the white muslin of her son's; when the father comes home at the end of the story (after galloping off in the morning), he wears a striped serape and brings his son a book about bridges. Reassuring and beautiful.

In His Own Words...
"I remember drawing at a very early age. I loved it. And my parents and teachers told me I was good at it—that made me love it all the more.
"I also loved books, and the ones I was lucky enough to own were reread, looked at over and over, and regarded with great respect. To me great respect' meant that I took them everywhere, and the ones I still own prove it. They're brimming with all the telltale signs of true love: dog-eared pages, fingerprints on my favorite illustrations, my name and address inscribed on both front and back covers in inch-high crayon lettering, and the faint smell of stale peanut butter on the bindings. I wondered about authors and illustrators back then—” What did they look like? Where did they live? Did they have families? How old were they?—but I never imagined that one day I would be one myself.
"I became an author-illustrator when I was nineteen years old. I flew from my home in Racine, Wisconsin, to New York City with my portfolio, hoping to find a publisher. And magically enough Susan Hirschman at Greenwillow Books made my dream come true. My first picture book, All Alone, was published in 1987. Since then I've written and illustrated many picture booksand written several novels. I like the variety of trying new ways to fill the pages between two covers. Experimenting with words and paint and ink keeps my job interesting.
"I used to live with my parents and brothers and sister and work at a card table in my bedroom. Now I live with my wife, my son, and my daughter in our own house and work at a drawing table in my own studio. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to be a real author and illustrator. I wouldn't trade it for anything." |
