[ 책 소개 ]
조용히 눈을 감고 상상해 보세요. 깜깜한 우주에 혼자 있는 자신의 몸이 점점 커져서 커다란 지구가 된다면... 지구가 된 자신의 몸이 푸른 바다와 녹색의 숲과 황금빛의 사막으로 둘러쌓여 있어서 찬란한 빛을 발한다면... 지구가 된 당신은 너무나도 크고 위대합니다. 빙하가 갈라지면서 내는 소리는 당신의 우렁찬 목소리고, 산들바람이 풀밭을 흔들며 내는 소리는 당신의 소근거림입니다. 당신이 어깨를 한 번 들썩할 때마다 산과 땅이 흔들리지요. 지구가 된 당신의 몸 위에는 다리와 도로가 놓이고, 농장과 공장이 들어서며, 차와 배들이 사람들을 이곳 저곳으로 실어 나르지요. 지구가 된 당신은 귀뚜라미와 토끼와 어린이들이 춤추고 뛰어노는 곳입니다. 상상해 보세요. 사람들이 만나고, 얘기하고, 노래부르고, 크게 웃는 모든 소리들을 듣고 있는 당신의 모습을... 밝은 태양을 향해 고개를 돌리면 아침이 시작되고, 뒤에는 밤이 시작됩니다. 태양 둘레를 돌아가면 여름이 오고, 눈꽃이 당신의 몸을 덮을 때는 겨울이 옵니다. 겨울에는 사람들이 당신의 눈밭 위에 부드러운 발자구을 남겨 놓지요....
자신을 지구의 일부가 아닌 지구 자체라고 상상하면서 지구 위에서 벌어지는 일들을 통해 우리가 살고 있는 지구가 얼마나 아름답고 소중한지를 깨닫게 해줍니다.
큰 사이즈의 | 닫기x |  What is 페이퍼백?
표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Card catalog description
Readers are asked to picture themselves as the earth, turning in space, facing the light, feeling the green things growing and the oceans shifting.
From the Publisher
In dynamic words and dramatic pictures, Earthdance invites young readers to become not just a part of the earth, but Earth itself--standing tall in space, carrying mountains and rivers on its back, housing insects, animals, and people. Through the lyrical poetry of its text and the vibrancy of its stunning illustrations, Earthdance brings passion to its subject.
Publisher's Weekly
"Stretch your arms out wide and slowly spin around," encourages the narrator of Ryder's (The Snail's Spell) somewhat uneven environmental ode, in which the reader imagines him or herself as Earth. Certain passages resonate with poetic imagery ("You are twirling so gracefully, carefully, not even the sand moves as you spin"). Others stumble along ("Up your hills/ and down your rivers,/ cars and ships/ carry people/ from one place/ to another,/ all places on you"). The powerful illustrations, however, solidify the book's appeal. Gorbaty's (God's Gift) conceptual, stencil compositions-most featuring a horizon-like arc-convey movement, as if the scenes of crowds, volcanoes and footprints in the snow are revolving on a globe before the viewer. Often he needs only a few bold strokes and scratches of color against a deep black background to capture a world charged with energy and drama, one in which majestic icebergs crack and waterfalls tumble. Most readers should catch on to the book's novel, albeit abstract approach. Its case for actually inspiring a sense of connection and responsibility to the planet is less certain, though given its visual strengths, it stands a good chance.
Publisher's Weekly
A poem asks readers to imagine themselves as the earth; PW singled out the "powerful" artwork, saying that it "captures a world charged with energy and drama."
Children's Literature
Joanne Ryder creates an imaginative poem, a paean to the majesty of the earth. Imagine you are the earth..."wiggle your shoulders/ and mountains tremble and quake./ Shake your hair and feel windswept grasses tickle your face." The art is an energetic, joyful and playful evocation of the multitudes that inhabit this planet. Each picture is a breathtaking explosion of color and form. What a grand book to share this Olympic year when nations gather to become ONE. - Jan Lieberman
School Library Journal
This celebratory poem asks readers to imagine that they are the Earth. Ryder first evokes the celestial body in space, spinning and dancing around the sun, larger than the moon. She suggests that its forests, seas, and deserts form a brightly colored and comforting quilt. And of course, it is home to so many creatures. Earth is personified through striking tactile imagery: "Wiggle your shoulders/ and mountains tremble and quake./ Shake your hair and feel windswept grasses tickle your face." The poem grows in power as it flows along, and is ably supported throughout by Gorbaty's gorgeous, inventive artwork. This is an especially well-designed book, with its use of appealing bright colors and careful placement of text. The illustrations, both stylized and childlike, set a playful mood that nonetheless dovetails nicely with the poet's environmental message: "Dance slowly,/spin gently,/and carry them/ through space. May they hear /your whispers,/feel your strength/under their feet, and treasure you."-Marilyn Taniguchi, Santa Monica Public Library, CA
Kirkus Reviews
Ryder (My Father's Hands, 1994, etc.) addresses readers in the second person, beckoning them to join in a cosmic appreciation of the earth and all it holds. Simple verse shot through with sensory and physical images invite children to imagine themselves as the globe, twirling through nights, days, summer, and winter. Text and art boldly converge in a series of invocations: "Wiggle your shoulders and mountains tremble and quake" and "Shake your hair and feel windswept grasses tickle your face." An innovative book design incorporates the text into Gorbaty's brightly colored paintings, which at first feature one or two images but quickly build into chaotic, celebratory scenes of life on earth. Powerful, pulsing graphics and a valuable, almost incantatory, message.
Booklist
Ryder's lyrical text invites young listeners to transform themselves into Earth and experience all its wonders. She describes natural formations, flora and fauna, and humankind and its creations, encouraging children to "Dance slowly, / spin gently / and carry them / through space. / May they hear / your whispers, / feel your strength / under their feet, / and treasure you." Gorbaty's inked stencil illustrations provide a dramatic backdrop for this brief poem. His bold shapes and brilliant hues interact with the irregular placement of text, resulting in a very appealing format. An obvious choice for Earth Day story hours, this may also serve as a catalyst for children creating their own poetry or as a springboard for creative dramatics. Kay Weisman
