[ 책 소개 ]
아름다운 캐리비안 바다를 배경으로 아이들이 자연과 어울리면서 행복하게 살아가는 모습을 간결한 문장과 작가 특유의 사실적인 수채화 그림으로 보여줍니다. 아름다운 그림과, 더욱 아름답게 느껴지는 문장이 절묘한 조화를 이루는 책입니다.
"해가 뜨면 우리는 일어납니다."라고 쓰면 평범한 문장이 되지만, 작가는 "Where morning meets light, we rise."라는 시적인 문장으로 표현합니다.
"음악소리에 신이나서 우리는 춤을 춥니다"라고 쓰지 않고, "Where song meets soul, we dance."라고 표현하네요.
마지막 문장은 "Where darkness meets light, we dream... We dream..."으로 끝을 맺습니다.
Caldecott 수상작가인 Rachel Isadora의 응축된 예술성을 맛볼 수 있는 책입니다.

Annotation
A lyrical and evocative dreamscape of the Caribbean.
From the Publisher
Where does sea meet sky? Where does sound meet color? Where does song meet soul? They meet where children run, splash, sing, and live, on an island in the West Indies. Rachel Isadora has written an inventive text, just right for the very young, featuring the activities children love. Winsome watercolors depict the connections that exist in the world around us, and take us to the places that lie deep in the hearts of all children, no matter where they live.
Publishers Weekly
Isadora's (A South African Night) simple, rhythmic paean to the Caribbean opens at the start of a day: "Where morning meets light, we rise." Echoing this phrasing, the author spotlights some typical island activities: her child protagonists take a dip at water's edge ("Where waves meet sand, we swim"), walk in the country ("Where wind meets hill, we run"), visit an elderly woman who evidently has tales to share ("Where years meet story, we see") and gaze upon a sunset ("Where darkness meets night, we dream. We dream"). The conclusion, as well as the calming cadence throughout, lends this tale to a bedtime read-aloud. Some of Isadora's language may seem ambiguous ("Where sound meets color, we hide," for example, describes some children's experience in the marketplace), but her inviting watercolor paintings offer a vivid interpretation. Her children pose as if for a camera, with friendly grins; her paintings take in sultry beaches, bright colored houses, tidy white-washed buildings. The imagistic text and the realistic art reinforce each other's strengths.
Children's Literature
In this enchanting book, readers enter a colorful tropical dream world where waves meet sand, rain meets earth, song meets soul, and music meets hearts. Author/illustrator Rachel Isadora's glorious watercolors and inventive text celebrate the connections that exist in the world around us. The lyrical words, accompanied by vivid and inviting pictures, give children from all over a taste of the joy and simplicity of life on a small island in the West Indies.
School Library Journal
Island life is vividly depicted in Isadora's simple verses and sun-drenched images. Lovely watercolor paintings show children swimming along the shore, laughing in the rain, going to school, and listening to stories.
Kirkus Reviews
Isadora celebrates both a place and childhood; her book evokes the land and seascape of Caribbean island life, and the elemental experiences that plot a child's references. On the book's righthand pages are Isadora's nimble sun-bleached watercolors—sea, hills, market, friends, rain, song—while the lefthand pages hold six words that report a feeling or activity: "Where wind meets hill, we run," "Where song meets soul, we dance," and "Where moonlight meets path, we walk." Life on the island is touched by natural magic, where real places fuse with dreamscape, and a water world is made secure by friends, family, and the rhythm of daily acts. There is no point in quibbling that Isadora presents only half the picture—-an idyllic half—-since that is her point: to wring from this environment all the beauty it holds. |
