* #1 New York Times bestseller
* Amazon Editors Pick-Best Children’s Books of 2022


자크린 우드슨(Jacqueline Woodson)과 라파엘 로페즈(Rafael Lopez)가 함께 만든 뉴욕 타임스 1위 베스트셀러입니다.

천둥 번개가 치고, 하루 종일 비가 내리는 바람에 밖에 나가지 못하고 집 안에 갇혀 있어서 우울해 하는 남매에게 할머니는 기분을 전환해주는 말을 해줍니다.

"팔을 높이 들어 올리고, 눈을 감고, 깊게 숨을 들이마시며, 무엇인가를 믿어보렴.
어디선가 누군가는 지금 너희들과 같이 지루했을 거야."

그리고 아름답고 빛나는 두뇌를 사용해보기를 권합니다. 할머니의 말을 따라해보면서 자신도 모르게 상상력의 세계가 그들을 끌어올리고 하늘을 나는 법을 배우는 상상도 하는 등 지루함에서 벗어나게 됩니다.

그 후, 말다툼이 벌어진 날, 다시 마음의 여행을 할 시간이 찾아오고 남매는 이를 통해 마음 속 분노를 잠재울 수 있게 됩니다. 마음을 다스리는 이 소중한 기술은 할머니가 말했듯이, 그들이 태어나기 전, 조상들이 그들의 아름답고 빛나는 두뇌의 힘을 세상에 보여준 시절로 거슬러 올라갑니다.

자크린 우드슨의 서정적인 글과 라파엘 로페즈의 화려한 그림은 우리 자신의 마음을 고양시키고 더 나은 세상을 상상하는 특별한 능력을 갖게 해줍니다.

Book Description
Jacqueline Woodson and Rafael Lopez's highly anticipated companion to their #1 New York Times bestseller The Day You Begin illuminates the power in each of us to face challenges with confidence.
On a dreary, stuck-inside kind of day, a brother and sister heed their grandmother’s advice: “Use those beautiful and brilliant minds of yours. Lift your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and believe in a thing. Somebody somewhere at some point was just as bored you are now.” And before they know it, their imaginations lift them up and out of their boredom. Then, on a day full of quarrels, it’s time for a trip outside their minds again, and they are able to leave their anger behind. This precious skill, their grandmother tells them, harkens back to the days long before they were born, when their ancestors showed the world the strength and resilience of their beautiful and brilliant minds. Jacqueline Woodson’s lyrical text and Rafael Lopez’s dazzling art celebrate the extraordinary ability to lift ourselves up and imagine a better world.


Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review*
"An intergenerational family story of freedom. . . . Lopez illustrates the inside of the family’s apartment with drab, muted colors that emphasize the children’s confinement. In contrast, the outdoor scenes, illustrated primarily in pastels, exude luminosity and convey the youngsters’ exuberance. . . . The ebullient mixed-media artwork explodes with color and extends the richness of the text. An uplifting story that will inspire kids, especially brown girls and boys, to dream."


Booklist *Starred Review*
”A narrative rich with literary and visual symbolism, simultaneously simple and profound…With this book, Woodson and Lopez create a path that children may follow as they gain confidence and imagine a way forward no matter what challenges arise."


School Library Journal *Starred Review*
"Woodson and Lopez are thankfully, and marvelously, back together. . . . Honoring echoes of the past (masterfully captured in both text and art) with an eye set on the possibilities of the future, this uplifting and honest reflection of the experiences of many children is a perfect example of the power of the picture book. It helps children, through words and art, to be seen and also challenges them to embrace their own power and agency. The many layers of both art and language will provide fodder for rich classroom discussions. . . . A must for any collection, and an outstanding example of the picture book as an artistic and literary form."


Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
“Two Black siblings use their imaginations to escape their immediate surroundings throughout the seasons in this picture book by previous collaborators Woodson and Lopez (The Day You Begin). . . . Learning to soar 'from the people who came before,' the children are told both that their feelings have been experienced by others, and that “nobody can ever cuff/ your brilliant and beautiful mind,” a lesson they pass on in turn. Energetic layered multimedia illustrations accompany the poetically repeating lines, vividly depicting winged escapes over images of a slave ship and contemporary real-world high-rises.”


Horn Book Magazine
"Poetic text. . . . The book reminds children that imagination is a powerful tool in any situation, and López’s colorful, eye-pleasing art enhances this message. Readers also are reminded that they have support from the past."
