Perfect for fans of Charlotte’s Web and The One and Only Ivan, Saving Winslow is an uplifting modern classic in the making about a young boy who befriends an ailing newborn donkey and nurses him back to health, from New York Times bestseller and Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech.
Louie doesn't have the best luck when it comes to nurturing small creatures. So when his father brings home a sickly newborn mini donkey, he's determined to save him. He names him Winslow. Taking care of him helps Louie feel closer to his brother, Gus, who is far, far away in the army. Everyone worries that Winslow won't survive, especially Louie’s quirky new friend, Nora, who has experienced loss of her own. But as Louie's bond with Winslow grows, surprising and life-altering events prove that this fragile donkey is stronger than anyone could have imagined.
Written in the spirit of Creech favorites Moo and Love That Dog, this standout tale about love and friendship and letting go will tug at the heartstrings.
这是一个发生在10岁小男孩儿路易和温斯洛之间催人泪下的暖心故事。你想问温斯洛是谁?其实,温斯洛是一头长得比狗还小的小毛驴。
失去母亲、身体虚弱、奄奄一息的早产小驴温斯洛遇到了从小就不会照顾小动物的路易,当所有人都认定温斯洛并不能存活下去时,只有同样身为早产儿的路易坚信爱和守护的力量,拯救了温斯洛的生命,而温斯洛*后也成为了特殊的生命守护者。
透过温情的语言,我们能看到路易与温斯洛之间跨越种族的热爱和守护,能看到路易父母对早产儿路易不抛弃、不放弃的执着坚守,能看到失去早产弟弟的小女孩儿诺拉对生命流逝的痛苦和拒绝,能看到生命易逝的悲伤,更能看到生命不屈的力量。因为,我知道生命的脆弱,却愿意为你选择坚强。
