Make Believe: On Telling Stories to Children

內容簡介

內容簡介 《Make Believe》是一本寫給成年人、探討童書奧義的作品。它不僅是一份對藝術與想像力的熱血宣言，更是一場對故事如何深刻影響每個人生命的盛大慶典。這本書由深受喜愛的暢銷童書作家、美國國家青少年文學大使 麥克·巴奈特（Mac Barnett） 撰寫。他敦促我們以更寬廣的視角去思考童書的潛力，以及年輕讀者身上那種獨特的才華：如果孩子其實是藝術的最佳受眾呢？如果他們實際上比成年人更能與故事產生深度共鳴呢？如果人類欣賞藝術的能力並非後天習得，而是在童年早期就被喚醒的本能呢？巴奈特認為，如果答案是肯定的，那我們最好竭盡所能，為孩子們創作出最優質的作品。Make Believe is a book for adults about books for children, a rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. Mac Barnett, the beloved, bestselling children's author and U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, urges us to think expansively about the potential of children’s books—and the particular brilliance of young readers: What if children are a great audience for art?What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults?What if humans’ ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we’d better do our best to make some good kids’ books. Barnett has published more than 60 children’s books, which have been translated into 30+ languages and have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, winning many international prizes along the way. Make Believe is his incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis, he champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure. Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe reads like a letter from one’s smartest and funniest friend.
