화려한 수상 경력에서 알 수 있듯이 어린이 그림책중 명작의 반열에 들어갈 수 있는 좋은 책입니다.
1935년 대공황이 닥친 암울한 시대를 배경으로, 정원 가꾸기를 좋아하는 한 소녀가 어두운 세상을 밝고 훈훈하게 바꿔나가는 모습을 감동적으로 그린 좋은 책입니다.
엄마, 아빠의 실직으로 생활이 어려워지자 시골 소녀 리디아는 대도시에서 빵가게를 하는 외삼촌 집으로 보내집니다. 태어나서 처음 만난 외삼촌은 전혀 웃지않는 무뚝뚝한 사람이지요. 시골에서 할머니와 함께 정원을 가꾸면서 자란 리디아는 거의 전문가 수준의 원예지식을 갖고 있답니다. 지저분하고 어둠침침한 외삼촌의 빵가게와 주변 동네에 리디아는 할머니가 보내주는 씨를 싹틔워서 아름다운 꽃으로 장식을 해 나갑니다. 창가, 계단, 발코니, 현관 위... 온 동네의 색깔을 아름답게 바꾸죠. 물론 가게에는 손님들이 날이 갈수록 늘어납니다.
그리고 리디아는 웃지않는 외삼촌을 위해 비밀리에 심혈을 기울여서 특별한 것을 준비합니다...
문장 하나하나, 그림 한 장면 한 장면마다 읽는 사람에게 감동을 주는 책입니다.

Book Description
By the author-and-illustrator team of the bestselling The Library.
Lydia Grace Finch brings a suitcase full of seeds to the big gray city, where she goes to stay with her Uncle Jim, a cantankerous baker. There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers' faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece -- an ambitious rooftop garden -- which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile. Sarah Stewart introduces readers to an engaging and determined young heroine, whose story is told through letters written home, while David Small's illustrations beautifully evoke the Depression-era setting.
Starred, Publishers Weekly
"Speaks volumes about the vast impact one small individual can make." "Creative collaborators."
The New York Times Book Review, Edward Koren
David Small and Sarah Stewart have constructed a moving, wonderfully rich illustrated story. It is that rarity, a pictorial delight that in 20 double pages gives more and more of itself each time it's read, and whose silent complexities reveal themselves with continuing pleasure.
From Booklist
Stewart's quiet story, relayed in the form of letters written by a little girl, focuses on a child who literally makes joy blossom. Small's illustrations are a bit more softly focused than usual, but they're still recognizably his, with wonderfully expressive characters, ink-line details, and patches of pastel. Their muted backgrounds convey perfectly the urban 1930s setting where most of the story takes place. When hard times hit her family, Lydia Grace is shipped off to stay with her somber, undemonstrative uncle who owns a city bakery. She makes the best of her stay by helping out and by pursuing her favorite pastime, gardening, a talent she uses to make her uncle smile--in a very unusual way. In the end, she receives not simply one reward for her kindness but two.
From Kirkus Reviews
This latest collaboration from Stewart and Small (The Library, 1995, not reviewed) is the Depression-era story of young Lydia Grace Finch, whose family's financial woes are the occasion for Lydia's extended stay in the city with dour Uncle Jim. Lydia's letters to her parents and Grandma, her beloved gardening partner, tell of her adjustment to the city, her work in her uncle's bakery, and of her determination to make her uncle smile. Meanwhile, the pictures show Lydia's gradual transformation of the drab shop and their apartment ``over the store,'' as she plants the seeds from Grandma in pots and tubs and flowerboxes in every possible space. Her pisce de resistance is the lush roof garden she cultivates in secret and springs on her uncle on the Fourth of July, earning Uncle Jim's equivalent of ``one thousand smiles,'' a huge cake elaborately decorated with flowers. It's a lovely story exemplifying the old adage, ``Brighten the corner where you are,'' and a good introduction to the epistolary form of storytelling. Small's marvelous pictures show the city in all its gritty variety- -pushcarts, pigeons, packing crates, fire escapes, awnings, nuns, bums, and dogs--and the scrawny, smiling bakery cat, |
