Fans of Polacco's (Thundercake; Pink and Say) work know well her talent for weaving her colorful family history throughout her picture books. Here Polacco shares her childhood triumph over dyslexia and discovery of reading in an inspiring if slightly formulaic story. Young Trisha is eager to taste the "sweetness of knowledge" that her grandfather has always revered (here symbolized by drizzling honey onto a book and tasting it, which harkens back to Polacco's earlier The Bee Tree). But when she looks at words and numbers, everything is a jumble. Trisha endures the cruel taunts of classmates who call her "dumb," and falls behind in her studies. But finally the encouragement and efforts of a new fifth grade teacher, Mr. Falker, trigger a monumental turning point in Trisha's life. She begins to blossom and develop all of her talents, including reading. Polacco's tale is all the more heartfelt because of its personal nature. Young readers struggling with learning difficulties will identify with Trisha's situation and find reassurance in her success. Polacco's gouache-and-pencil compositions deftly capture the emotional stages?frustration, pain, elation?of Trisha's journey. Ages 5-up.
作者简介:
Patricia Polacco,a consummate weaver and illustrator of warm and poignant tales, frequently dips into her own family's story bag for her stories. This time, she tells an auto-biographical tale, the story she knows best and one she has shared with audiences of teachers all over the country. It is the story of how she
learned to read. And it is the tale of her "hero," a teacher who in real life "unlocked the door and pulled [her] into the light."
In finishing the story, Ms. Polacco said, "Maybe the children who read this book will remember to say thank you to all those teachers they have loved." Maybe they will.
Patricia Polacco is also the author of Pink and Say, Rechenka's Eggs, Aunt
Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair, and many other great books. She lives in Michigan, not far from her grandparents' farm.
