올해 Caldecott상을 받은 책입니다.

할머니는 30명의 손주들과 함께 삽니다. 아이들은 말을 듣지 않지요. 겨울이 다가오자 할머니는 손주들을 위해 뜨개질을 해서 따뜻한 털옷을 만들어 주려고 합니다. 하지만 아이들은 할머니의 털실을 장난감처럼 갖고 노는데 정신이 팔려 있네요. 참다 못한 할머니는 "나 좀 방해하지 말고 내버려 둬! (Leave me alone!)"라고 소리치고는 털실을 보자기에 싸서 산 속으로 들어 갑니다.

산 속에서 조용히 뜨개질을 하고 있는데 이번에는 곰들이 와서 방해를 하네요. Leave me alone!
산 꼭대기로 올라갔더니 야생 염소들이 와서 방해를 합니다. Leave me alone!
달로 갔더니 외계인들이 와서 방해를 합니다. Leave me alone!

결국 아무도 없는 우주의 웜홀로 들어가서 무사히 30벌의 손주들 옷을 만듭니다. 웜홀을 빠져나와 집으로 돌아가니 30명의 손주들이 모두 달려들어 반깁니다. 할머니의 얼굴에 비로서 미소가 번집니다...

Book Description
A 2017 Caldecott Honor Book that The New York Times calls “both classic and ultracontemporary,” Leave Me Alone! is an epic tale about one grandmother, a giant sack of yarn, and her ultimate quest to finish her knitting.
One day, a grandmother shouts, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" and leaves her tiny home and her very big family to journey to the moon and beyond to find peace and quiet to finish her knitting. Along the way, she encounters ravenous bears, obnoxious goats, and even hordes of aliens! But nothing stops grandma from accomplishing her goal―knitting sweaters for her many grandchildren to keep them warm and toasty for the coming winter.
Vera Brosgol's slyly clever and unexpectedly funny modern folktale is certain to warm even the coldest of hearts.



School Library Journal *Starred Review*
Brosgol incorporates folktale elements in her amusing story of an old woman in search of a quiet place to knit. Fleeing her too small house overrun with too many energetic grandchildren, she packs her needles and yarn and heads for the mountains. Unfortunately, she can't find an undisturbed spot. Hungry bears, curious mountain goats, and little green moon-men provoke her to shout: "Leave me alone!" Climbing through a wormhole, she discovers a dark and quiet place to complete 30 little sweaters. Then she crawls through a wormhole that leads to her house, where 30 grandchildren rush to meet her. Peasant clothing, wooden houses, and village scenes create a setting reminiscent of the Brothers Grimm or of Fiddler on the Roof. The humorous illustrations depict the determined woman knitting in improbable circumstances as she climbs ever higher. A huge bear looms above her, curious "about what she might taste like." Mountain goats frolic with balls of yarn they consider tasty snacks. Green creatures investigate the woman with handheld scanners while she sits on a chair-shaped moon rock. Brosgol is a master of facial expressions, using eyes, mouth, and forehead lines to indicate the old woman's thoughts and emotions. VERDICT This offbeat tale will please readers who appreciate subtle humor, especially those who crave some time alone. A good choice for collections needing to bolster their supply of humorous titles. - Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University Library, Mankato



Review

“This book reads aloud beautifully to large groups, and should have them rolling in the aisles. Funny is hard; Brosgol makes it look easy.” -NPR, Best Books of 2016

“Brosgol's clever text manages to feel both classic and ultracontemporary, as do her illustrations . . . Colorful and fun, Leave Me Alone! will be a good addition to any bookshelf, especially for children who like to shout along.” -The New York Times Book Review

“Displaying a firm command of the picture book format and a strong sense of comic timing, Leave Me Alone! [is] so well-executed, it feels almost unfair that this is Brosgol’s first foray into picture books.” -The Huffington Post, “Best Picture Books of 2016”

“Anyone who has yearned for peace and quiet-and those who enjoy pestering such a person―will appreciate the plight of the crotchety heroine of Leave Me Alone, a picture book by Vera Brosgol that hilariously mingles elements both folkloric and intergalactic . . . The clean lines and bright colors of Ms. Brosgol's pictures convey good cheer throughout, despite the yelling, in this snugly knitted amusement for 4- to 8-year-olds.” -The Wall Street Journal

“Brosgol is a master . . . This offbeat tale will please readers who appreciate subtle humor, especially those who crave some time alone.” -School Library Journal, starred review

“Brosgol’s cartooning delivers laughs throughout . . . The fizzy collision of old-fashioned fairy tale elements with space-age physics is delightful, and even the most extroverted readers will recognize that sometimes you just need a little space.” -Publisher's Weekly, starred review

“Brosgol’s folkloric tale is full of humor and repetition, making it a good choice to read aloud . . . Understatedly funny, just like the Eastern European folk tales on whose shoulders it stands.” -Kirkus Reviews

“An impressive picture book debut . . . Repetition and patterned storytelling ground the out-of-this-world elements for a thoroughly entertaining adventure.” -Horn Book

“Brosgol infuses her fairy tale-like story with a hefty dose of humor, thanks to her fantastic page turns and comedic timing . . . As cozy as a new sweater.” -Booklist

“With clever trips to the moon and through worm holes, Vera Brosgol brings a fresh new perspective to the world of children's books.” -Dan Santat, The Adventures of Beekle

“A cranky, funny, skillful, gentle, beautiful beautiful book.” -Jon Klassen
