Our Lake

內容簡介

內容簡介 由新銳圖文作家 Angie Kang 帶來的出道作品，記錄下一對兄弟在父親過世後，第一次獨自回到湖邊的療癒旅程。今天哥哥要帶我去湖裡游泳，就像以前爸爸帶我們去的時候一樣。我很想謝謝他帶我們來這裡，卻開不了口。於是我伸手環抱住他的腰，他也同樣緊緊地回抱著我。在這裡、在我們的湖水中，水流溫柔地擁抱著我們。在一個悶熱難耐的日子裡，小男孩模仿著哥哥的動作：脫掉上衣、伸展身體，接著走向高聳的岩石邊緣，準備跳進下方閃爍著清涼光芒的湖水。只是這一次爸爸不在身邊，而湖面看起來是那麼地遙遠。他該如何鼓起勇氣一躍而下呢？Angie Kang 以極其柔和且精緻的插畫與文字，展現了高超且細膩的情感處理能力，傳達出脆弱、渴望與連結。讀者將看見這兩兄弟如何從周遭環境中聽見爸爸的笑聲、看見他的身影，並在這段酸甜交織的記憶中，重新凝聚彼此的心。A tender and vulnerable exploration of love and loss that follows two boys as they take their first trip back to the lake without their father, from debut author-illustrator Angie Kang.Today, Brother is taking me up to swim in the lake like Father used to.I want to thank him for bringing us here, but I can’t find the words.Instead, I loop my arms around his torso, and he does the same back.Here, in our lake, the water holds us close.On a sweltering hot day, a little boy mirrors his brother as he takes off his shirt, stretches, and walks toward the edge of the tall rock, ready to dive into the cool lake waters glistening below. Only this time, Father is not here. And the water looks so far away. How can he take the plunge?With a gorgeous, deft touch in her exquisitely soft illustrations and words, Angie Kang conveys vulnerability, longing, and connection as these two boys hear Father’s laugh and see his memory all around them, uniting them in a bittersweet moment.

各界推薦 Praise for Our Lake by Angie Kang; illustrated by Angie Kang:Publisher's Weekly Best Books 2025 (Children's Picture Books)★ “A deeply felt story about siblings returning to a cherished place…in loosely painted, expressive gouache, crayon, and colored pencil. Foregrounding the hard work of moving forward, this story about loss offers a vision of a place where “we are all together.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review★ “With lyrical descriptive language and breathtaking illustrations, this book tenderly explores themes of loss, bravery, and family. A gentle and heartfelt exploration of grief, this book is a must-have addition to any library shelf.” —School Library Journal, starred review★“ Kang’s debut picture book is a quiet portrait of the ways in which grief takes us by surprise, and its glorious final celebratory splash offers a radiant reminder of how joy and connection can exist alongside sadness.” —The Horn Book, starred review“A sensitive look at the delicate process of navigating loss. The gouache, crayon, and colored pencil illustrations convey a sense of calm and comfort while also acknowledging the anxiety of the unknown.” —Kirkus Reviews“Lyrical…The text has a contemplative quality to it, never taking up more than three short lines at a time and allowing the viewer space to process every word…Vibrant eye-catching colors splash across every page.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books“A heartfelt story of overcoming grief. Mixing gouache with the texture from crayons and colored pencils, Kang paints the sky a soft yellow with foliage in deep blues and greens. Combining these elements with the unlined art adds a softness to the delicate subject matter. A valuable addition for even the most robust collections.” —Booklist
