[ 책 소개 ]
* 2006년 Child magazine's Best Children's Book Awards
아동도서의 베스트셀러 제조기라 불리우는 Jamie Lee Curtis (글)와 Laura Cornell (그림)의 콤비가 만든 또 하나의 베스트셀러입니다. 국내에는 "인생은 달리기 시합인가요?"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간되었습니다.
제목에 사용된 Human Race는 "사람들이 경주하다"라는 뜻과 "인간"이라는 의미를 함께 지니고 있는 중의어입니다. 마치 아멜리아 베델리아의 여자 주인공 처럼, Human Race, 즉 인간이라는 의미를 전혀 다른 의미로 해석해서 이야기를 전개해 나갑니다.
주인공인 소년은 다양한 질문을 던집니다. 인간을 Human Race라고 부르는데 과연 인간은 태어나서부터 계속 경주를 하는 존재일까? 아기 적 부터 연습하고 남들을 이기기 위해 경쟁하는 존재일까? 누구는 이겨야 하고 누구는 져야만 하는 것일까? 왜 경주를 해야만 하고, 왜 이겨야만 하는 것일까? 등등등...
하지만 엄마와의 대화를 통해 소년은 소중한 것을 깨닫게 됩니다. 때로는 빨리 달리지 않는 것이 좋을 때가 있다는 것을... 꼴찌로 달릴 때 오히려 주변의 아름다운 풍경을 볼 수 있을거라는 것을.... 남들을 이기는 것 보다는 최선을 다하는 것이 소중하다는 것을... 친구를 사귀고 서로 사랑하고 이 세상을 좀 더 살기 좋은 곳으로 만드는 것이 진정한 삶의 가치라는 것을...

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.

From the Publisher
Is there really a human race?
Is it going on now all over the place?
When did it start?
Who said, "Ready, Set, Go"?
Did it start on my birthday?
I really must know.
With these questions, our hero's imagination is off and running. Is the human race an obstacle course? Is it a spirit? Does he get his own lane? Does he get his own coach?
Written with Jamie Lee Curtis's humor and heart and illustrated with Laura Cornell's worldly wit, Is There Really a Human Race? Is all about relishing the journey and making good choices along the way—because how we live and how we love is how we learn to make the world a better place, one small step at a time.
Child Magazine
Both sage and silly, this book offers a great opportunity for parents and children to slow down and explore how best to live life. Confused by the term "human race," a young boy questions whether people are literally in a race. His mom's reply: "Sometimes it's better not to go fast. There are beautiful sights to be seen when you're last." As in previous ventures, Cornell's high-energy tableaux humorously complement Curtis's heartwarming message to enjoy the journey and help others ("take what's inside you and make big, bold choices. And for those who can't speak for themselves, use bold voices"). In one picture, people scurry frantically in a giant hamster wheel. In a contrasting scene, a Muslim and a Jew share a peaceful game of Go Fish: "Do you have any 2's?"
Publishers Weekly
This circuitous tale from the creators of It's Hard to Be Five opens with a series of questions: "Is there really/ a human race?/ Is it going on now all over the place?/ When did it start?/ Who said, `Ready, Set, Go'?/ Did it start on my birthday?/ I really must know." Cornell quickly livens up the proceedings, however, with a spread of newborns lined up in a nursery, suggesting clues to their futures. One sunglasses-sporting infant holds an Oscar statuette, another chews on the tassel of a graduation cap. The relay race metaphor plays out as Cornell pictures a diverse spectrum of people dashing about madly, and the narrator poses more questions: "Is the race like a loop/ or an obstacle course?/ Am I a jockey,/ or am I a horse?" After asking why he is doing "this zillion-yard dash," the lad observes that if we don't help each other, we're all going to "crash." Switching to the mother's perspective, the narrative emphasizes the importance of taking one's time, trying one's best ("that's more important than beating the rest") and making the world a better place "for the whole human race." Curtis's message has merit, yet its singsong delivery seems muddled. Yet fans of this duo may well be carried along by Cornell's bustling, whimsical art, overflowing with quirky particulars that celebrate the diversity of people everywhere.
Children's Literature
If life is a race, when did it start, is it a race against friends, is it a loop or obstacle course, is it okay to push ahead, and is it a sprint or a dash? These are just some of the questions a little boy ponders as he reflects on his role in the human race. His mother offers sage advice ...don't go to fast so you can't enjoy the sights, lend a helping hand to those who stumble, speak up for those who can't, and "make friends and love well." Curtis puts a humorous spin on her message that proves that life is a journey and not a race, and it is everyone's responsibility to make good choices. Bold, colorful paintings capture all the charm and rhythm of the lyrical text. From babies lined up in nursery bassinettes, each with a distinct personality, to the frenzy of the race with its swirl of action in the chaotic moments before the CRASH, the momentum builds and then resolves in a calm and peaceful conclusion. Quirky details and multiethnic caricatures fill the pages. Another solid hit from a winning team. Fun for all ages.
School Library Journal
Curtis writes so very well, in infectious toe-tapping poetic form, of the inner thoughts and worries that children struggle with all too frequently. Here, a boy asks his mother the title question. He continues, "If the race is unfair, will I succeed?" His mother tells her son that it's often better to help others and make the world a better place than to win first place in a foot race. Cornell's ink-and-color wash cartoons are a perfect match to Curtis's lilting text. The detailed spreads will fascinate young readers. For instance, on the page on which the child asks, "-is Dad on my team?" the illustrations show his father, grandad, and a multitude of ancestors back to cavemen. When he worries about making the wrong turn, a maze full of children of different ethnicities is depicted. This book should be enjoyed by the whole human race. |
