Noah Chases the Wind: Redleaf Lane

Autor Michelle Worthington Ilustrat de Joseph Cowman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 apr 2015

Observăm în Noah Chases the Wind o abordare plină de sensibilitate a neurodiversității, centrată pe Noah, un băiețel cu o curiozitate nesfârșită, cu care copiii se vor identifica imediat prin dorința lui de a înțelege „de ce”-ul din spatele fenomenelor naturale. Noah nu doar privește lumea, el o simte altfel: observă dansul prafului în razele de soare și caută în cărțile de știință răspunsuri pentru tot ce îl înconjoară. Suntem de părere că forța acestei cărți rezidă în modul în care transformă o experiență senzorială diferită într-o aventură fascinantă, atunci când Noah decide să urmărească vântul pentru a-i afla secretele. Subliniem calitatea artistică a ilustrațiilor semnate de Joseph Cowman, care reușește să vizualizeze invizibilul prin vârtejuri în tonuri de nestemate, oferind o experiență de lectură fluidă și captivantă. Pe același raft cu Incredibly Busy Mind of Bowen Bartholomew Crisp, această carte se adresează copiilor de 4-8 ani care caută să înțeleagă de ce unii dintre noi procesează lumea prin detalii pe care alții le ignoră. Michelle Worthington continuă aici explorarea temelor dificile prin ochii copiilor, o constantă în opera sa. Dacă în Mama's Chickens autoarea folosea metafore pentru a explica demența precoce, în povestea lui Noah ea validează nevoia de a pune întrebări până la găsirea unui răspuns, transformând „a fi diferit” dintr-o barieră într-o perspectivă unică și valoroasă.

Cititorul câștigă nu doar o poveste frumoasă, ci și un limbaj vizual și emoțional prin care poate discuta despre diversitate, acceptare și frumusețea unei minți care funcționează diferit.

Descriere scurtă

Winner of the silver medal in the Moonbeam Children's Books Award in the Picture Book 4–8-year-old category from Independent Publisher

Winner of the Gelett Burgess Children's Book Award

Noah knew he was different. He could see things that others couldn't, like the patterns in the dust that floated down on sunbeams.
Noah is different. He sees, hears, feels, and thinks in ways that other people don't always understand, and he asks a lot of questions along the way. Noah loves science, especially the weather. His books usually provide him with the answers he needs, until one day, there's one question they don't answer—and that is where Noah's windy adventure begins.
Filled with rich, sweeping illustrations, this picture book celebrates the inquisitive nature of all children, including those on the autism spectrum, who cannot stop asking a question until an answer has been unearthed.
The book contains a page of information for parents, caregivers, and educators about the importance of helping children feel good about their differences and know that being different is okay.
Michelle Worthington was born in Brisbane, Queensland, and has lived there all her life. She is much-published author in Australia.
Joseph Cowman lives and paints in the hills and valleys of suburban Idaho. He is a long-standing member of the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators. He is the illustrator of six other Redleaf Lane books, including most recently, The Amazing Erik and Rita and the Firefighters.


Recenzii


"Noah has endless curiosity about how and why things work. . . . Cowman's gusty wisps show each stream of air turning a different jewel tone, swirling all around. . . . Worthington's sensitive exploration leaves readers with their own set of questions and perhaps gratitude for all types of perspectives.

An invitation to wonder, imagine and look at everything (humans included) in a new way. "
Kirkus Review

Noah Chases the Wind is about a little boy who has autism. Noah knows he is different. He acts, feels, and sees things differently than other kids. Noah likes to learn about new things and he wants to know where the wind goes. Noah decided he can find out where the wind goes if he chases the wind. The wind goes around the town. Then the wind picks Noah up and flies him high above the clouds. Noah learns where the wind goes.

I really loved Noah Chases the Wind. It reminds me of one of my friend who looks like Noah. He learns things a bit differently and also has autism. I am seven years old and am able to read this book on my own. The illustrations are great. The pictures are soft, colorful, and detailed. I liked going back and looking at the pictures. I loved the way the illustrator drew the wind. I wish we could really fly with the wind like Noah does.—Jewel, Age 7, San Francisco Book Review
