Re: Allen Say
Miss Irwin
Un album qui vient juste de paraître.Présentation de l’éditeur
Miss Irwin is a luminous and heartwarming story about the importance of capturing the light of precious memories before all is forgotten, from Caldecott Medalist Allen Say.
As a young woman, Miss Irwin was a kindergarten teacher who loved introducing the world of discovery to her students. As a grandmother, she often reflects on her wonderful days exploring with her students. When her grandson asks her about a mysterious box on the shelf, she gets lost in memory and her mind transports her back in time to when she was Miss Irwin. At first her grandson is confused, but remembers his grandmother's forgetfulness and plays along as the student who made the bird's nest inside the white box.
Allen Say's breathtaking artwork and emotionally powerful and thoughtful text gently weave a touching story about memory and family. Together, the grandmother and grandson rejoice in the meaning and beauty of memory before all is lost.
Miss Irwin helps readers of all ages better understand and interact with loved ones who are experiencing memory loss.
Chapeau bas, Allen Say a entre-temps 85 ans et aussi bien ses illustrations que son écriture gardent toute leur énergie.
Ce n’est pas le premier album qui traite le sujet de la maladie d’Alzheimer, mais c’est certain que Allen Say y ajoute sa touche personnelle.
Je suis sous le charme, j’aime beaucoup.
Une autre réussite dans sa bibliographie.
