And so a story of friendship begins, following the two cats through their days, months, and years until one day, the older cat has to go. And he doesn’t come back.
This is a poignant story, told in measured text and bold black-and-white illustrations about the act of moving on.
有一只猫,一直孤零零地生活。直到有一天,来了一只小猫,一个友谊的故事开始了。大猫慢慢接纳小猫,并给予了自己的爱,两只猫幸福地一起过了几天,过了几月,甚至过了几年,直到有一天……大猫不得不走了,再也没回来。两只猫,又变了孤零零的一只猫…… 这是2018年凯迪克银奖绘本《大猫,小猫》为我们讲述的故事。没有起伏的情节,仿佛一切都在平淡中展开,也在平淡中结束。但作者就这样通过缓缓的文字、简洁的画面,表达出来一个关于生命、关于爱与陪伴、关于传承的话题。
