국내에는 "보이지 않는 아이"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작 그림책입니다. 이 책은 친구들 사이에서 투명인간 취급을 받는 브라이언이 친구를 사귀며 자존감을 회복하고 자신만의 색깔을 찾아가는 과정을 경쾌하게 풀어 낸 작품입니다.

브라이언은 친절하고 그림을 잘 그리는 아이입니다. 하지만 친구들 눈에는 그런 브라이언이 보이지 않나 봅니다. 심지어 선생님조차도 다른 아이들을 챙기느라 브라이언을 신경 쓸 겨를이 없습니다. 언제나 브라이언은 친구들과 함께하기를 고대하지만 아이들은 브라이언을 놀이에 끼워 주거나, 생일 파티에 초대하지 않습니다. 브라이언은 아이들 사이에서 마치 아무에게도 보이지 않는 투명인간 같습니다.

그러던 어느 날, 저스틴이라는 아이가 전학을 왔습니다. 저스틴은 할머니가 만들어 주신 불고기 때문에 친구들에게 놀림을 받아요. 브라이언은 저스틴에게 쪽지를 보내 위로하고, 저스틴은 브라이언이 그린 그림을 칭찬해 주지요. 저스틴의 눈에는 친절하고 그림을 잘 그리는 브라이언이 보였답니다. 브라이언은 저스틴과 함께 특별과제를 하면서 남다른 솜씨도 뽐냈지요. 브라이언은 이제 더 이상 투명인간이 아닙니다.

Book Description
Meet Brian, the invisible boy. Nobody ever seems to notice him or think to include him in their group, game, or birthday party . . . until, that is, a new kid comes to class.
When Justin, the new boy, arrives, Brian is the first to make him feel welcome. And when Brian and Justin team up to work on a class project together, Brian finds a way to shine.
From esteemed author and speaker Trudy Ludwig and acclaimed illustrator Patrice Barton, this gentle story shows how small acts of kindness can help children feel included and allow them to flourish. Any parent, teacher, or counselor looking for material that sensitively addresses the needs of quieter children will find The Invisible Boy a valuable and important resource.
Includes backmatter with discussion questions and resources for further reading.


School Library Journal
Brian feels invisible. His teacher hardly notices him, the other kids never invite him to play, and he eats lunch alone. But he loves to draw, so at recess, he creates comics about greedy pirates, battling space aliens, and superheroes with the power to make friends everywhere. One day, a new boy, Justin, joins the class. The other children make fun of him for eating Bulgogi, a Korean dish, but Brian slips him a friendly note. When it is time to find partners for a class project, Justin asks Brian to join him and another boy. Brian's artistic talents come in handy, and finally he is no longer invisible. This is a simple yet heartfelt story about a boy who has been excluded for no apparent reason but finds a way to cope and eventually gains acceptance. Barton's scribbly illustrations look like something Brian may have made. Pencil sketches painted digitally are set against lots of white space, and sometimes atop a background of Brian's drawings on lined notebook paper. At the start of this picture book, Brian is shown in shades of gray while the rest of the world is in color, a visual reminder of his isolation. Color starts to creep in as he is noticed by Justin. Once he becomes part of the group, he is revealed in full color. The thought-provoking story includes questions for discussion and suggested reading lists for adults and children in the back matter. Pair this highly recommended book with Jacqueline Woodson's Each Kindness (Penguin, 2012) for units on friendship or feelings.


Booklist
For the first half of Ludwig’s picture book, a lonesome-looking boy appears rendered in gray and white. Even the teacher has no time for “invisible” Brian, as she is busy dealing with the noisy children in her class. Brian, with his big glasses and toothy smile, gets his hopes dashed when he isn’t picked for the kickball team. He finds solace in his drawings, where fire-breathing dragons scale tall buildings and superheroes have the power to make friends. When new student Justin arrives, Brian befriends him when the others don’t, and they become buddies and even add a third boy to become a trio. Now visible in glorious color, Brian and his new friends present a project to their newly appreciative classmates. The joyful last pages show Brian with the children playing happily in real and imaginary activities. Brian’s childlike drawings, done in ink and collage, are spot-on in representing the way children depict their imaginary world and their very real feelings. “Questions for Discussion” in the back matter provide guidelines for teachers and parents.
