The Silver Hoop
Autor Rokuro Taniuchi Traducere de Allison Markin Powellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2027 – vârsta până la 7 ani
A dream-inspiring nighttime adventure for readers aged 3-8 to drift to sleep alongside
The Silver Hoop introduces a dreamy young girl in a coastal village in Japan. All around her, she sees little boys and girls racing around town with hoop toys. The hoops roll, bounce, and skip into the blue sky, and she longs for a hoop of her own. Lying in the moonlight on her soft tatami mat, the girl dreams up a glinting silver hoop. Just as she sends her wish out into the night, a magical goldfish appears above her bed, flipping its tail and urging her to follow its shimmery path. With the goldfish spirit by her side, the little girl goes on an enchanting night journey to conjure the toy of her dreams.
A classic in Japan, The Silver Hoop is a peaceful tale about the quiet power of the imagination. Rokuro Taniuchi's bright ocean blues, cherry-blossom pinks, and ember reds make one feel that they are seeing in technicolor for the first time. Young readers will love the soft radiance and vivid beauty of Taniuchi's heartfelt paintings.

Notă biografică
Rokuro Taniuchi (1921-1981) was a painter born in Ebisu, Tokyo in 1921. Rokuro began his career drawing political cartoons and publishing manga stories in the left-wing magazine, Minpo. In 1956, Rokuro painted his first cover for the magazine Weekly Shincho. He would go on to paint over 1,300 covers, until his death in 1981. His cover paintings were filled with childlike wonder and distinct, surreal images (a man playing a piano shaped like a whale, or a woman working a quilt of rolling hills through a sewing machine). In his art, children often exert a magical force over their environments. His body of work is collected at the Yokosuka Museum of Art, and his creations also include drawings, handmade toys for children, and woodblock prints. His two celebrated picture books are titled The Silver Hoop and Sky in a Bottle.
