Three Balls of Wool

內容簡介

內容簡介 改變世界的三個羊毛線球，一段尋找更多可能、尋求更多改變與自主的故事一個八歲孩子的記憶中，家的記憶是位於一個陽光普照，溫暖的葡萄牙鄉間，唯一可惜的是，那裡的孩子很少人能夠去上學，那時，常聽到雙親們在耳語，孩子雖然不懂他們在說什麼，但似乎聽到了「恐懼」、「戰爭」、「牢獄」…等字眼，某天，在黎明之前，這個家庭連夜離開了這個曾經是家的地方。從獨裁的葡萄牙，不斷遷移到了另一個不同的國家，雖然一開始的生活似乎比之前還要好一些，環境狀態也較好、孩子也順利的去上學，但媽媽注意到了一件事，就是最後落腳的這個國家，人們只穿特定顏色的衣服：灰色、橘色或綠色，只因為市場上只提供這些顏色的選擇，而人們就依順了這樣的狀態生活著…於是，媽媽做了一個決定，她買了灰色、橘色與綠色的毛線球，把三種顏色織在一件毛線衣上，這個簡單的舉動，開始讓週遭的人們思考，為什麼大家都做同樣的選擇、做一樣的事情呢？當我們有幸生於一個自由的環境，別忘了還有人連基礎的自理都處於不自由的狀態，有自主權與自由權的我們，該如何挺身而出，如何做出改變，如何為別人發聲，也許是另一個新的課題。In search of a freer place where every child can go to school, a family moves from Fascist Portugal to Communist Czechoslovakia. Different as this new country is, however, it is far from ideal. In this new, gray world, the lack of freedom is felt in the simplest things, such as the colors one can and cannot wear.Yara Kono was born in Brazil. Her first drawings were made on the wall of her family's living room. Her mother wasn't pleased, but eventually embraced the artistic talents of her daughter.Henriqueta Cristina was born in Portugal into a family of many brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, and stories. She graduated Porto University and has been a teacher for over thirty years."
