內容簡介
內容簡介 奶奶的花園 小男孩的奶奶家在高速公路附近,硫磺堆的後方,周圍有個小雞舍。硫磺堆像太陽,永不落下。每天早上,爸爸載著小男孩到奶奶家,但是奶奶都不見蹤影,因為她總是淹沒在煮馬鈴薯的蒸氣堆裡,一手拿甜菜根,一隻腳開著櫥櫃,手肘關冰箱,哼著歌。有時祖孫倆會在花園裡照料花花草草,尋找小蟲子讓土壤保持健康。 詩人Jordan Scott 和插畫家 Sydney Smith繼 《I Talk Like a River》獲得了波士頓環球報號角圖書獎後再次攜手力作。故事啟發自Jordan Scott童年回憶,講述作者幼時與奶奶共度的景象、聲音和豐富的氣味。 The special relationship between a child and his grandmother is depicted in this sumptuous book by an award-winning team.Inspired by memories of his childhood, Jordan Scott's My Baba's Garden explores the sights, sounds and smells experienced by a child spending time with their beloved grandmother (Baba). He visits her every day and finds her hidden in the steam of boiling potatoes, a hand holding a beetroot, a leg opening a cupboard, an elbow closing the fridge, humming like a night full of bugs when she cooks. This is a stunning ode to the special relationship between grandmother and grandchild, needing few words, but rooted deeply in ritual, touch and feeling."
