Kyo Maclear Bücher

Wie schön kann doch der Tag sein, wenn man schon morgens Pläne hat und Entscheidungen treffen darf. Was Erwachsene kaum noch wahrnehmen oder zuweilen als Arbeit ansehen, wird in diesem Buch zum Spiel: Was zieh ich heute an? Das Streifen-T-Shirt? Die Latzhose? Den Kratzepulli? Lieber nicht! Turnschuhe, Schlappen? Und was will ich frühstücken? Müsli? Toast? Bananen, Porridge, Ei? Und dann? Wo geh ich heute hin? Und mit wem? Und wie? So schier unendlich viele Möglichkeiten, einen einzigen Tag, einen jeden Moment zu verbringen! Das ganze Leben ist doch ein Spielplatz, eine Box der Möglichkeiten! Seite für Seite eine Wunderkammer, die möglicherweise unendlich viel öfter geblättert betrachtet werden möchte, als das Jahr Tage hat. Wir waren einstimmig vom ersten Moment an verzückt und fragen uns, wie wir vorher ohne dieses Buch von Julie Morstad leben konnten? Unmöglich!

Zeit ist eine Blume. Zeit ist ein Kiesel, der einst ein Berg war. Zeit ist der einen Nacht und der anderen Tag. Was noch ist Zeit? Eine Linie, ein Kreis? Julie Morstads wunderbar poetische Gedankenreise über Zeit nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise über Vergänglichkeit, Veränderung und die großen Fragen des Lebens. So spielerisch, verträumt und frech, dass Leser*innen in jedem Alter dieses Abenteuer durch die Zeit genießen. Ein kostbarer Titel im 6-Farbdruck: Ein Geschenk für alle, die gerne auf Gedankenreisen gehen und ein Buch wie ein Schmuckstück lieben.

A playful and poignant exploration of the nature of time through the eyes of a child from acclaimed author/illustrator Julie Morstad. What is time? Is it the tick tick tock of a clock, numbers and words on a calendar? It's that, but so much more. Time is a seed waiting to grow, a flower blooming, a sunbeam moving across a room. Time is slow like a spider spinning her web or fast like a wave at the beach. Time is a wiggly tooth, or waiting for the school bell to ring, or reading a story . . . or three! But time is also morning for some and night for others, a fading sunset and a memory captured in a photo taken long ago. In this magical meditation on the nature of time, Julie Morstad shines a joyful light on a difficult-to-grasp concept for young readers and reminds older readers to see the wonders of our world, including children themselves, through the lens of time.

While banished to a dusty study one day "to think things over", a boy pulls a book off a shelf and with great reluctance begins to read. As the afternoon passes, the story nabs him and carries him away. Before long, this good little book becomes his loyal companion, accompanying him everywhere ... until, one day, the book is lost. Will this bad little boy get back his good little book? Will the good little book survive on its own without a proper jacket? A quirky, enchanting tale of literary love and loss -- and love found again -- that will win the heart of even the most reluctant reader.

A joyful celebration of Japanese cultural traditions and body positivity as a young girl visits a bath house with her grandmother and aunties You'll walk down the street / Your aunties sounding like clip-clopping horses / geta-geta-geta / in their wooden sandals / Until you arrive... / At the bath house / The big bath house. In this celebration of Japanese culture and family and naked bodies of all shapes and sizes, join a little girl--along with her aunties and grandmother--at a traditional bath house. Once there, the rituals leading up to the baths begin: hair washing, back scrubbing, and, finally, the wood barrel drumroll. Until, at last, it's time, and they ease their bodies--their creased bodies, newly sprouting bodies, saggy, jiggly bodies--into the bath. Ahhhhhh!With a lyrical text and gorgeous illustrations, this picture book is based on Kyo Maclear's loving memories of childhood visits to Japan, and is an ode to the ties that bind generations of women together.

For fans of memoirs that intertwine nature and art, this elegant and exuberant narrative explores a year of bird-watching, reflection, and creativity. It draws parallels to artists like Nabokov, Cage, and Plath, who each found inspiration in the natural world. In 2012, Kyo Maclear encounters a Toronto musician captivated by birds, prompting her to follow him for a year to uncover the reasons behind his newfound passion for nature. This intimate and philosophical memoir seamlessly navigates between the minute details and broader themes, serving as an unconventional field guide that celebrates the joy of observing birds in an urban environment. It highlights the liberating effects of being attuned to one's surroundings while examining the disconnection that often accompanies daily life. The narrative delves into how our passions can be both burdensome and sustaining, raising questions about how we are shaped by our interests. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of loving and protecting not only pristine natural spaces but also the imperfect urban landscapes where most of us reside. The journey unfolds as two artists embark on a transformative year-long adventure.
