In Brother Sun, Sister Moon, award-winning author Katherine Paterson re-imagines a hymn of praise originally written by Saint Francis of Assisi in 1224. Illuminated with the exquisite illustrations of cut-paper artist Pamela Dalton, this picture book offers a stunningly beautiful tribute to nature.
1224年,圣法兰西斯写下了一首简单的赞美诗,赞颂他在家乡意大利时所经历过的一切。他用家乡平实的翁布里亚方言赞美造物者的宽宏,从太阳、月亮、风和火,到群落、家庭、工作和冥想。近八百年过去了,一位被人喜爱的童书作家凯瑟琳?帕特森用诗意的语言重新诠释了这一作品,与我们一同分享法兰西斯的诚实坦率,对生命的直视,对欢乐、光明和阴暗的共鸣。帕梅拉·道尔顿用其精致的剪纸插画,完美贴合了圣法兰西斯赞美诗的精髓,使简单质朴和多彩繁复达到平衡。道尔顿的艺术作品时而带给人们狂风般力量的震撼,时而又带来蜻蜓翅膀般微妙的美好。她们的合作向世界证明了尊重、爱和奇迹的存在。
