* Reading Rainbow Selection
엄마가 회사일로 출장을 가는 바람에 오늘 밤은 엄마가 없이 지내야 하는 소년은 잠이 오지 않았습니다. 아빠를 깨우기 싫었던 소년은 창가에서 밤 하늘에 얼마나 많은 별들이 있는지 세어 보기로 했습니다. 하지만 창가에서는 모든 하늘을 볼 수 없었기 때문에 소년은 밖에 있는 트리하우스에 올라가 별들을 세었습니다. 넓은 하늘에는 수많은 별들이 있었지만, 하늘을 여러 부분으로 나누고 하나씩 벼들을 세어 나갈 수 있었습니다. 하지만 모든 별들을 세어 나가던 소년은 시간이 지남에 따라 별들의 위치가 바뀌고 있다는 것을 알게 됩니다. 어떤 별들은 지평선 아래로 사라지고, 어떤 별들은 새로 떠 오르고... 그 때 아빠가 집밖으로 나와서 소년을 발견하게 됩니다. 아빠 역시 엄마가 없어서 잠이 오지 않았지요. 아빠는 소년을 트럭에 태우고 도시의 불빛이 닿지 않는 시골로 데리고 갑니다. 그곳에서 바라본 밤하늘에는 셀 수 없이 무수한 별들이 머리 위로 쏟아지고 있었습니다. 특히 은하수는 너무 많은 별들이 뭉쳐져서 빛나고 있어서 도저히 세는 것이 불가능했지요. 함께 별을 세던 소년과 아빠는 트럭 뒤에 담요를 덮고 누워서 잠이 듭니다. 아침이 되자 모든 별들은 사라지고 소년과 아빠에게는 오직 한 개의 별, 태양만이 밝게 빛나고 있었습니다...

Book Description
Mama's away one night, and her son can't sleep. He tries to relax by counting stars, but the more of them he sees, the more determined he is to count every single one. Then the boy finds that Daddy can't sleep either. Together, the two of them set off on an unforgettable all-night journey of discovery.
Washington Post
James E. Ransome's oil paintings complement Lenny Hort's poetic text perfectly.
Publishers Weekly
One warm summer night, the sky is full of stars and a boy can't sleep. His mama is away. After staring out of his window, wondering ``How many stars in the sky?'' he attempts to count them. Outside, he climbs up into his treehouse for a better view. Soon Daddy joins him, and the sleepless pair set out on a star-gazing odyssey--to the city and then ``deep into the country.'' Finally, ``too tired to drive anymore. . . we slept under the stars that night'' in the back of the pick-up truck. In this worthy addition to the ranks of stories featuring African-American characters, the lyrical rhythm of Hort's text is brought to vibrant life by Ransome's ( Do Like Kyla ) painterly illustrations. The almost-tangible richness of the summer night and its lush green foliage stands in striking contrast to the dark city streets with occasional flashes of neon light.
Children's Literature
Mama is away and a young boy just can't sleep. He decides that he wants to know how many stars are in the sky. He stares out the window and starts to count, then he climbs up into his tree house for a better view. Dad too can't sleep, and together they set out on an expedition to count all of the stars. The nighttime adventure explores the warm bond between father and son that is beautifully depicted in Ransome's night scenes. Father and son are shown close together, touching and comforting each other during Mama's absence. A Reading Rainbow book.
School Library Journal
A young boy whose mother is away can't sleep. He goes outside in his pajamas and tries to count stars only to discover that houses, trees, and streetlamps obscure his view. His father can't sleep either, so they hop in the truck and go to the city in search of a better place to see the sky. As more lights surround them, fewer stars are visible; the one they see turns out to be an airplane. Although by now it's the middle of the night, the man heads into the country; here, the two are awed by stars too numerous to count. Ransome uses thick, visible strokes in his dense oil paintings that completely fill each large-format page. In general they present a nice variety of scenes to match the flow of the text, and the closeness between the black father and son is warmly portrayed. A fresh look at an age-old concept. |
