Sophie Blackall Bücher

Quinn schreibt einen Brief. Aber nicht an irgendwen, sondern an einen Außerirdischen, den er gründlich auf einen ersten Erdenbesuch vorbereiten möchte. Er beschreibt unter anderem die physischen Beschaffenheiten auf der Erde, unsere sehr unterschiedlichen Familienformen, Arten menschlicher Konflikte sowie die Tierwelt oder Musikinstrumente. Am Ende steht eines fest: Der Planet, auf dem wir leben und den wir uns alle teilen, ist ein faszinierender Ort. Und wenn das Wesen aus dem All dann zu Besuch kommt, kann es bei Quinn im Zimmer schlafen. Inspiriert von Begegnungen mit Kindern auf der ganzen Welt hat Sophie Blackall diese wunderbare Anleitung geschrieben, die unsere Welt in all ihrer Vielfalt erklärt. Mit detailreichen Doppelseiten und kräftigen Farben nimmt sie uns mit auf eine faszinierende Reise.

Während sich draußen die Wellen brechen und sich das Wetter und die Jahreszeiten kontinuierlich verändern, geht der Leuchtturmwärter gewissenhaft seinen vielen Aufgaben nach: Erst wenn das Öl nachgefüllt, die Linse poliert und der Docht gekürzt ist, kocht er sich sein einsames Abendessen. Dann endlich kommt der Tag, an dem seine Frau zu ihm in den Leuchtturm zieht. Bald gibt es noch weitere Veränderungen – manche freudig, andere weniger. Denn obwohl der Leuchtturm für die Ewigkeit gebaut wurde, geht die Zeit doch nicht spurlos an ihm vorüber. Ihre eigene Faszination für Leuchttürme inspirierte Sophie Blackall zu diesem Buch. Akribisch recherchiert und mit einem Sinn für subtile Stimmungen lässt die zweimalige Gewinnerin der Caldecott Medal ein vergangenes Kapitel der Seefahrt aufleben. Völlig organisch fügt sich der Text in die mit Tusche und Wasserfarbe gemalten Bilder ein, sodass ein atemberaubendes Gesamtkunstwerk entsteht.

In her first book for adults, the artist Sophie Blackall creates a deeply felt, poignant book about love—a book that captures the mystery, the yearning, at times the cosmic humor behind the “what if?” of a missed connection. Like a message in a bottle, a “missed connection" classified (usually posted on a website) is an attempt however far-fetched, by one stranger to reach another on the strength of a remembered glance, smile, or blue hat. The anonymous messages are hopeful and hopeless, funny and sad. Ms. Blackall, award-winning illustrator of Ruby’s Wish and Big Red Lollipop, has turned some of the most evocative (or hilarious) of them into exquisite paintings. Missed Connections is a collection of illustrated love stories. There’s “We Shared a Bear Suit.” “If Not for Your Noisy Tambourine.” “Hairy Bearded Swimmer.” Each is told in the shorthand of a “missed connection,” and then illustrated in Chinese ink and watercolor. The paintings are extraordinary: delicate yet full of feeling, each springing from one little detail of the post into a fully imagined world. Each brings the voyeuristic pleasure of watching love at first sight, and the pleasure of watching an artist discover a fresh new way to tell a story. And not all the connections are missed. Hidden in the book are three pieces that conjure up the magic of love found.

Two-time Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall spins a winning tale about Max, a feline whose behavior doesn't win any raves, except from the boy who believes in him and finds a way to turn a negative into a positive. When a boy is FINALLY allowed to get a cat, he has no doubts about which one to bring home from the shelter. But Max the cat isn’t quite what the family expected. He shuns the toy mouse, couldn’t care less about the hand-knitted sweater, and spends most of his time facing the wall. One by one, the family gives up on Max, but the boy loves his negative cat so much, he’ll do anything to keep him. Even the thing he dreads most: practicing his reading. Which, as it turns out, makes everything positive!
