Snow下雪了

now, a touching story about childish hope, grumpy pessimistic grownups, and the wonder of snowfall. Will the snow come? (Oh, please?) In the first scene there is none, but the second has--if you can find it--a single flake. Then there are more--but they melt. And then, finally... joy! These are unusually subtle illustrations for a children's book: so many illustrators try to out-do each other with lurid effects and excessive brightness, but many of author's exquisite panels are close to monotone. He paints whole cityscapes in a dozen shades of gray, with small human figures who you notice (at second glance) have coats of gray-green, gray-blue, or gray-brown. Simplified Chinese character Snow is a 1998 New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year and a 1999 Caldecott Honor Book. 本书是四届凯迪克金奖得主尤里·舒利瓦茨继《黎明》和《雨河》之后又一诗意绘本佳作，以细腻而意象丰富的图画，勾勒出城市里从第一片雪花飘落到最终下起大雪的场景变化，展现了儿童与成人视界的不同。孩子没有主观预设的好坏与利益价值诉求，任何一点变化对他们来说都是新鲜而有意义。唯有如孩童一般，时时怀揣一颗鲜活而好奇的心，我们才能在无数次的观察、探索、尝试中，体会自然、生命、知识的真谛。 本书曾荣获包括年美国凯迪克银奖在内的多个图
