內容簡介
內容簡介 我可以最任何事,我可以當任何人 閱讀,擁抱任何可能就像大部分的孩子一樣,夢想著「長大想當」…,小女孩Zoe也是。她說:「我想和外星人一起享用下午茶、我想當雲、我想像小鳥一樣飛!」但每次耳邊都出現質疑的聲音:「如果你失敗了怎麼辦?」自信的Zoe總是輕輕一吹:「走開!」四兩撥千斤,撢走這些質疑的聲浪。她說:「我甚至還想當總統、當老師呢!當老師可以想分享好幾百萬本書。」但是,「首先,我必須學會閱讀,還有,別說我不行,我可以的!」《為什麼蚊子老在人們耳朵邊嗡嗡叫》插畫家戴安狄倫創作。藉由自信的Zoe告訴讀者:閱讀,讓你認識世界,充滿自信,接近夢想。Like most girls and boys, Zoe enthusiastically embraces the wonders of our world and its infinite possibilities. "I can be anything I want to be! " she tells us, presenting herself in a range of careers. "But what if you fail? " asks a voice of doubt that attempts to undermine her confidence.Bold and sassy, Zoe swats the voice away at every turn, declaring her certainty with a charisma that will encourage us all to silence the fears projected onto us by our world. Why can't a girl grow up to be President? Zoe can! When the voice of doubt continues, Zoe knows exactly what to say: "Go away, voice... I can be anything... but first, I have to learn to read. And don't tell me I can't! "Award-winner Diane Dillon has created a winning character who defies anything to hold her back from achieving her goals. And the key to Zoe's future success begins when Zoe defiantly opens her book, making it clear that both confidence and reading are tools we all need to make our dreams come true.
