【生活需要的不只是麵包】
冬天即將來臨,所有的田鼠都在忙著蒐集過冬的食物,唯獨 Federick 沒有一起幫忙。當其他的田鼠問牠為什麼不工作時,牠回答自己正在收集陽光、色彩和文字。
當漫長的冬天來臨,田鼠們的存糧漸漸耗盡時,正是 Federick 用自己的收藏創作出的詩為牠們寒冷黑暗的生活帶來了溫暖!
While the other field mice work to gather grain and nuts for winter, Frederick sits on a sunny rock by himself. “I gather sun rays for the cold dark winter days,” he tells them. Another day he gathers “colors,” and then “words.” And when the food runs out, it is Frederick, the dreamer and poet, whose endless store of supplies warms the hearts of his fellow mice, and feeds their spirits during the darkest winter days. Frederick’s story will warm readers as well in this Caldecott Honor winning fable.
