Overview / 简介: |
| *Starred Review* With an artful sweep, a young girl in cornrows celebrates the color black in its many variations. The opening double-page spread takes readers right into the sky as the girl flies over houses through an inky night dotted with golden stars: “Black is big.” But it’s tiny as well, like the sparkle in her father’s eyes. And it’s loud, like tap shoes. This book engages more senses as the girl remembers “the deepest, darkest chocolate,” melting in her mouth, yet this is a color that also attaches itself to emotions like pride and excitement. While Johnson’s prose is crisp and definitive, Christie’s artwork takes the words and imaginatively whirls them in stylized, riotously colored pictures that will remind some of Maira Kalman’s work. The exuberance this child feels in exploring black in all its permutations can’t help but spill over to young listeners, who will have fun thinking up pieces of black magic in their own lives.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Everything about the color black is beautiful and magical. The black sky twinkles with yellow stars as a little girl sprinkles them across its beautiful sky above a darkened city. There is a little twinkle in her daddy's loving black eyes as he cuddles and kisses her on the cheek as he holds and hugs her "with his strong black arms." Black is definitely beautiful and can be LOUD when little girl's tappity, tap those tap shoes and it can be shhhhhhh . . . "quiet like a butterfly." When three friends sit on the steps eating yummy chocolate, it can be delicious.
If you look down over a long winding road from the sky, it can be both quick and slow. When a big sister graduates "black is PROUD" with smiles and love in the air. Of course when Uncle Nathan tickles little girls with his mustache it can be silly. After a good wash in a tub with lots of suds Ebony, her little black puppy, is silky. Black is beautiful and everywhere you look it can be found from the "notes [that] make music on a plain white sheet," to those "hundred black braids [that] make a spiderweb" on a little girl's head. Oh, and don't forget zebra kisses!
This is a delightful celebration of all the marvelous, beautiful black things that surround us in our lives. If you ask a physicist if black is a color your answer will be no, but if you ask innocent children or a little girl like the one in this book, the answer is yes. This charming book of verse celebrates many "black" things in a very festive way. The vibrant art work swirls through these pages giving some fun and interesting examples. I loved the little sleepy girl whose unruly black braids bristled from her pillow. If you think black is beautiful, you might just have to think about putting this one on your list! |
