Peter Brown, winner of the caddick silver medal in the United States, is a new creation. He presents his childhood experience in this picture book.
A mentor? Or a monster?
An accidental encounter
A pleasant Saturday morning
The fog of prejudice dissipated
They saw each others sincerity and true temperament
The story describes the naughty boy, Xiao Luo, who likes to shoot paper planes in the classroom, but he meets the fierce teacher Kirby. The stern teacher Kirby not only yells and stomps heavily, but also forbids you to leave class if you shoot a paper plane in the classroom; She was a monster. When she was not in school, Xiao Luo liked to play in the park. One Saturday morning, he met Mr. Kirby in the park. Xiao Luo wanted to run away and hide, but he could only sit on the bench awkwardly and stare at Mr. Kirby until a strong wind blew away Mr. Kirbys hat
In order to truly present the childs appearance and voice, Peter Brown walked into the campus again and again and talked with teachers and children to catch the childs views and feelings. In this book, he first draws on paper with pencil, ink, watercolor and opaque watercolor, and then presents this story that makes children feel the same, especially the teacher of green monster. I believe that children can experience the feelings of the protagonist Xiao Luo with computer digital, synthetic coloring, concise composition, geometric shape and color, and comic dialogue.
