독자들로 하여금 가족의 의미를 되돌아보게 하는 깊이있는 주제를 다루는 Caldecott 수상작가인 Allen Say의 작품입니다.
미국인 가정에 입양된 어린 소녀 엘리슨은 어느날 할머니가 보내준 예쁜 기모노 옷을 입고 거울 앞에 서서 자신과 가족들의 얼굴을 들여다 보다가 자신의 모습이 엄마 아빠와 전혀 닮지를 않았다는 놀라운 사실을 깨닫게 됩니다. 오히려 엘리슨이 가장 좋아하는 동양 인형과 자신의 모습이 더 많이 닮아 있었죠.
자신의 부모는 멀리 다른 나라에 있으며, 자신이 아주 어릴 때 현재의 부모에게 입양되었다는 사실을 알게 된 엘리슨은 매우 슬펐습니다. 그리고 왜 원래 부모는 자기를 포기했는지 생각할수록 화가 나고, 한편으로는 의기소침해져 갔습니다. 그리고 엄마와 아빠에게 점점 반항적이 되어 갔습니다.
하지만 어느날, 엘리슨은 집없는 고양이를 돌봐주게 되고 가족의 일원으로 받아들이면서, 자신을 키워 준 엄마와 아빠가 진정한 부모임을 깨닫게 됩니다...
"입양"이라는 다소 생소하고, 쉽지 않은 주제를 통해 가족의 의미를 되돌아 볼 수 있는 책입니다. 고급스러운 아트지에 인쇄된 큰 사이즈의 | 닫기x |  What is 페이퍼백?
표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Book Description
When Allison tries on the red kimono her grandmother has sent her, she is suddenly aware that she resembles her favorite doll more than she does her mother and father. When her parents try to explain that she is adopted, her world becomes an uncomfortable place. She becomes angry and withdrawn. She wonders why she was given up, what her real name is, and whether other children have parents in faraway countries. Allison's doll becomes her only solace until she finds a stray cat in the garden and learns the true meaning of adoption and parental love.
Publishers Weekly
A deep-gold jacket serves as a portrait frame for the title character's two pivotal moments in this penetrating picture book about a young girl who learns to accept her adopted family. The cover image shows Allison wearing a kimonoa gift from Grandmotherjust like that worn by her doll Mei Mei; when the child stares into the mirror, she smiles to see that she and Mei Mei look very much alike, but when she sees her American mother and father, "her smile disappeared." Caldecott Medalist Say's (Grandfather's Journey) watercolors externalize Allison's inner landscape, a beige and neutral world in which she provides the only relief. The photographic quality of the art underscores Say's realistic treatment of his delicate subject (e.g., Allison's angry face after she shears the dolls whose "hair wasn't like Mei Mei's," an empty picture hook on the wall behind her). Cleverly, Say uses a stray cat that Allison wants to adopt to help her come to terms with her anger as she realizes everyone needs a family. A subtle, sensitive probing of interracial adoption, this exquisitely illustrated story will encourage thoughtful adult-child dialogue on a potentially difficult issue.
School Library Journal
As he did in Stranger in the Mirror (Houghton, 1995), Say uses a glimpsed reflection to probe the ramifications of recognition. In the earlier title, the subject was aging; here, Say turns to adoption. When readers first encounter Allison, she is opening a package containing a red kimono just like the one worn by her doll. The whole family faces a mirror for her to see herself in her new garment, and she sees that her doll's hair is "straight and dark like hers." When she realizes that she does not look like her mother or father, her smile fades. Questions about the doll's origin lead to the discovery of her adoption. What follows are some lonely scenes as Allison watches the families at daycare and as she destroys her mother's childhood doll and father's baseball and glove. It is finally the "adoption" of a stray cat, whose appearances frame the story, that helps Allison understand and appreciate her family. While Say's watercolors are powerfulthe skill with which he captures determination and longing in the muscles surrounding Allison's mouth, for exampleand her anger is a believable reaction, the conclusion is abrupt and somewhat contrived. One can't help wondering, too, why Allison don't already know about her past if she is surrounded by cultural reminders and why her parents don't respond to her pain with immediate physical and verbal warmth and comfort. The compelling artwork will surely attract attention.. However, for first choices that combine honesty with reassurance, try Karen Katz's Over the Moon: An Adoption Tale (Holt, 1997) or Fred Rogers's Lets Talk About It: Adoption
New York Times Book Review
A Caldecott medalist illustrator, who has been concerned with problems of identity in several books, here turns to one of the thorns of adoption. Allison realizes that she does not look like her parents but rather like her doll, Mei Mei. -- New York Times Book Review |
