Caldecott 수상작인 No, David의 저자인 David Shannon(그림)과 Will's Mammoth의 저자 Rafe Martin(글)이 콤비를 이뤄 만든 작품입니다. 치누크 인디언의 오래된 설화를 바탕으로 만든 아름다운 그림책이며, 특히 David Shannon의 수상작인 No, David와는 다른 강렬한 느낌의 그림들은 장면 하나하나가 명화를 보는 듯합니다.
바다와 인접한 강가에서 실종된 소년은 오랜 세월이 흐른 후 물개들이 사는 섬에서 발견됩니다. 물개들과 오랫동안 함께 살았던 소년은 사람의 언어와 습관을 모두 잊어버리고 마치 물개와 같이 기어 다니고, 날 생선을 먹으며, 물개의 울음소리를 냈습니다. 소년의 부모는 지극한 정성으로 소년이 인간사회의 생활에 적응할 수 있도록 했습니다만, 소년의 마음 속에는 물개들과 함께 살았던 바닷 속 생활이 너무 그리웠습니다. 어느 날 소년은 부모와 함께 카누를 타고 가다가 물개들이 부르는 소리를 듣고....

Book Description
After mysteriously disappearing for many years, a young boy is spotted near an island, swimming with the seals. Although he is safely returned home to his people, he will never be the same again, for the world of the sea keeps calling him home. Full color.
Publishers Weekly
In this bittersweet story developed from a Chinook legend, an Indian boy wanders off from his parents as they are camped along a riverbank--"The whole tribe began searching. But there were no traces of the boy." The lad dwells among seals for a time; indeed he becomes one of them, for "he wouldn't talk, but only grunted and barked like a seal." Brought back to his people, he gradually resumes his human traits, and begins to carve canoes, paddles and weapons for his people, all adorned with fantastical "designs of the sea and the sea's creatures." But the youth cannot escape the water's pull: he returns to his marine existence, each year leaving a beautiful canoe for his grieving parents. This second collaboration by the creators of The Rough-Face Girl exhibits many of that work's notable characteristics. Once again Shannon's dark, romantic paintings are dramatically stylized; many of his individual images display a similarly haunting quality. Martin's retelling employs lyrical language while carefully retaining a clarity appropriate for the intended audience. Another potent Native American offering from a gifted pair.
School Library Journal
"This Chinook legend recounts the story of a young boy who disappears by a great river and is found, years later, sunning with seals. Although his parents teach him to walk, talk, and eat normally again, he is haunted by his underwater past; the only thing that brings him peace is carving beautiful objects on the shore. At last he can resist the calling seals no longer, and he leaps from his parents' canoe. They, in turn, sink his carving tools and receive, each spring, a beautifully carved new canoe and paddle." |
