![]() Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Chris Raschka illustrates the shaker hymn Simple Gifts with a cat, a bluebird, a rabbit, a turtle, and flowers. Thick black outlines and bright colors that seem to be a closeup so close that the pictures look abstract with the text of "Simple Gifts" at the bottom---it feels too cluttered and not simple enough. The last page discusses the song and the Shakers and has the song, musical score and text. The author says that the Shakers liked to sing it fast and dance to it. Not a very great hymn and not great illustrations to go with it either. Maybe interesting for young children, but no one over 5 will be enticed by this. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
In words, pictures, and song, a nineteenth-century hymn continues to delight "'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free." So begins Simple Gifts, a generations-old hymn written by the Shakers of Alfred, Maine. In that simple community, people based their lives on kindness, trust, and the joys that come when we sing and dance together. In this lush volume, acclaimed illustrator Chris Raschka brings this famous song to life, celebrating animals and landscapes with bold brushstrokes and warm colors. A cat, a rabbit, a turtle, and even the trees appear to dance to the lyrics. After all, sometimes the finest gifts are the simplest ones. This fixed-layout ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book, features read-along narration. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
