Show Way de Jacqueline Woodson

Show Way

Autor Jacqueline Woodson Ilustrat de Hudson Talbott
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 sep 2005 – vârsta până la 8 ani

Apreciem încă de la primele pagini modul în care ilustrațiile luminoase și texturate ale lui Hudson Talbott transformă lectura într-o experiență tactilă; privirea zăbovește asupra peticelor de material ce par cusute direct pe pagină, purtând mesaje codificate. Show Way nu este doar o lecție de istorie, ci o cronică lirică despre reziliența feminină, transmisă prin ac și ață de-a lungul a opt generații. Urmărim parcursul stră-străbunicii Soonie, vândută la vârsta de șapte ani, care păstrează vie speranța prin simboluri precum „Steaua Nordului” sau „Răscrucea”, transformând arta cusutului într-un instrument de supraviețuire și orientare.

În contextul operei sale, Jacqueline Woodson continuă explorarea identității și a memoriei ancestrale, teme prezente și în celebrul său volum Brown Girl Dreaming. Dacă acolo accentul cade pe vocea proprie a scriitoarei, aici perspectiva se lărgește pentru a cuprinde întregul arbore genealogic, celebrând momentul în care fiicele născute libere învață nu doar să coasă, ci și să citească. Atmosfera amintește de Under the Quilt of Night, însă în timp ce acea lucrare se concentrează pe tensiunea unei singure evadări, Show Way oferă o perspectivă panoramică asupra timpului, arătând cum tradițiile se transformă din hărți de salvare în obiecte de artă și mândrie culturală. Găsim în această carte o punte necesară între trecutul dureros al segregării și speranța unui viitor clădit pe cunoaștere, totul narat cu o blândețe care o face accesibilă copiilor începând cu vârsta de 6-7 ani.

Descriere scurtă

Soonie's great-grandma was just seven years old when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, and with only some fabric and needles to call her own. She pieced together bright patches with names like North Star and Crossroads, patches with secret meanings made into quilts called Show Ways -- maps for slaves to follow to freedom. When she grew up and had a little girl, she passed on this knowledge. And generations later, Soonie -- who was born free -- taught her own daughter how to sew beautiful quilts to be sold at market and how to read.

From slavery to freedom, through segregation, freedom marches and the fight for literacy, the tradition they called Show Way has been passed down by the women in Jacqueline Woodson's family as a way to remember the past and celebrate the possibilities of the future. Beautifully rendered in Hudson Talbott's luminous art, this moving, lyrical account pays tribute to women whose strength and knowledge illuminate their daughters' lives.

Recenzii

"One of the most remarkable books of the year."

-Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Show Way is a sophisticated book that introduces readers to the passage of time, family traditions, and the significance of quilts and their patterns in African-American history. The gorgeous, multimedia art includes chalk, watercolors, and muslin. An outstanding tribute, perfectly executed in terms of text, design, and illustration." -School Library Journal, starred review

Descriere

Reaching into her own family history, Woodson presents the stirring story of generations of African-American women who inspired each other with their strength, family traditions, and determination to be free. Full color.

Hudson Talbott
"Travel is one of my greatest joys- whether its by land, sea, air - or cyberspace. Last year, for example, I found myself in Amsterdam, Holland, at the Institute of War Documentation, the place where they keep the few records that the Nazis didn't burn. I needed to go there for research on my newest book, Forging Freedom. From there I flew to Wales for a conference about King Arthur and the Holy Grail, research for my King Arthur series. It was great fun to be with a group of Arthurian scholars, in Arthur's homeland. From there I crossed the Irish Sea to Dublin, where I directed a wonderful cast of Irish actors in a taped dramatization of my book O'Sullivan Stew. My latest journey took me to Kenya, in east Africa, to visit Dr. Jan Grootenhuis, a wildlife expert I had met in India last year. When he invited me to work on a book together with him about the wildlife of Africa how could I say no? I sent email reports back to several schools in the States when we were on safari. It was wild to be sharing my safari experiences as they were happening! In fact, I think the thing I love most about travel is sharing it with others- through a book, a recording, an email report, or a website."
Hudson Talbott was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, the youngest of four children. From the time he could pick up a pencil, he has been interested in drawing and creative expression, and he considers himself extremely fortunate to have had family and teachers who encouraged his talents.
After graduating from the Tyler School of Art in Rome, Hudson remained in Europe, first staying in Italy, and then living for two years in Amsterdam. He then worked in Hong Kong and traveled throughout southeast Asia for a year before moving to New York, where he has lived and worked since 1974. In his ten years as a freelance illustrator, his work was commissioned by such clients as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bloomingdale's, and New York Magazine. Hudson's first book for young readers, called How to Show Grown-ups the Museum, was commissioned by New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1985. Since then he has written and illustrated more than twelve books for the child in all of us. Hudson's interest in other cultures and his genuine appreciation for all types of people have contributed enormously to the development of his work as both artist and story-teller.
Hudson Talbott is the author/illustrator of more than twelve books for young readers, including We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, which was adapted into an animated film by Steven Spielberg.
Hudson also collaborated with Stephen Sondeim on a illustrated book version of the composer's musical Into The Woods. His illustration and design work have been used by The Metropolitan Museum and The Museum of Modern Art, among others. He has also developed two animated television series commissioned by Universal Studios.
Hudson frequently travels for his book projects. For his ongoing series of The Tales of King Arthur he traveled throughout England and Wales researching the subject. For Amazon Diary he went into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest by dugout canoe and stayed in the villages of the remote stone-age indigenous tribe known as the Yanomami.
For his latest book, O'Sullivan Stew, he wandered through Ireland, absorbing the culture. In Dublin he directed a splendid cast of Irish actors for an audiotape version of the book.
Hudson lives in New York City and ,on weekends, in a farmhouse near the town of Hudson, N.Y.
