Je thuis voelen kan overal, samen met de mensen van wie je houdt! Wat maakt thuis een echt thuis? Een voordeur, een raam en een knuffel als je thuiskomt. Thuis voelt alles veilig en fijn. Maar soms moet je je huis achterlaten om een nieuw thuis te maken. De warme boodschap komt goed over door de poëtisch geformuleerde tekst maar zeker ook door de paginagrote illustraties van pixar-animator Chris Sasaki. Ze maken dat je zelf zo in het huis zou willen stappen en dan niet alleen vanwege het huis zelf maar vooral door de dingen die de mensen die er wonen erin doen. Voor alle kinderen vanaf een jaar of 4 die opzien tegen een op handen staande verhuizing. Verandering kan ook heel fijn zijn. De volledige tip lees je op de website van het kinderboekenjournaal: https://kinderboekenjournaal.nl/review/samen-zijn-we-thuis/ #samenzijnwethuis #kinderboekenweek #kinderboekenweek2023 #bijmijthuis #familie #verhuizen #stephanieparsleyledyard #chrissasaki @gottmerkinderboeken   #gottmer #gottmerkinderboeken  #prentenboek #kleuters #tipvanhetkbj

Reviewing these two together, as there are many parallels. If you like children’s illustration, you’ve probably heard of Gyo Fujikawa, but Tyrus Wong? Probably not. Tyrus was a Chinese boy who immigrated to the US in the early 1900s, a time when the US government barred almost all Chinese immigrants from entry. The exceptions were “people of note,” which gave birth to “paper children,” meaning assumed identities that were more illustrious on paper than in reality. Tyrus was interrogated as a child entering Ellis Island, but he’d memorized his fake background well and was granted entry. Eventually he worked for Walt Disney where his style set the tone for the background artwork of Bambi! Disney then fired him during a strike, despite the fact that Tyrus didn’t join the strike. (Oh! He also studied at Otis, an art school in LA that both Jonas and I toured, but ultimately didn’t attend $$$. Tyrus worked as a janitor there to help pay his way). Gyo Fujikawa also worked for Disney, and it was her work for the studio that took her to the East Coast, which helped her escape the Japanese internment camps on the West Coast during WW2. Her family was locked up. The book covers how that experience affected her in more depth, but one thing I didn’t know was that her famous, multiracial baby drawings were one of the absolute first examples of interracial children’s books in the early 60s. Her publisher wouldn’t print it at first, but when she didn’t give in, they did, and her first book was a huge success! Both these biographies are excellent for their depictions of AAPI trailblazers, American history, and art history. // #itbeganwithapage #gyofujikawa #kyomclear #juliemorstad #waltdisney #paperson #aapistories #tyruswong #julieleung #chrissasaki (library)

Suzanne`s presentatie, over de illustratie: Samen zijn we thuis van Stephanie Parsley Ledyard met de illustraties van@christopher_sasaki Wat een gezelligheid! Iedereen zit aan een vol gedekte tafel, opa en oma zijn er ook bij. En de hond lust ook wel een lekker plakje worst of een stukje brood. Hij zit braaf te wachten totdat er iets op de grond valt. Ik vind het leuk als mijn familie en vriendinnen bij mij komen eten. Gezellig samen kletsen aan mijn nieuwe eettafel met de mooie roze stoelen erbij. Ik hou mijn camera scherp.

Kinderboekenchallenge | Dag 30: Nergens beter dan thuis Het thema voor de Kinderboekenweek 2023 is ‘Bij mij thuis’. Met als toelichting: ‘Bij mij thuis lezen we elke avond voor het slapengaan. Bij mij thuis kun je heel ver boven de stad uitkijken. Bij mij thuis vieren we het Suikerfeest. Bij mij thuis wonen twee mama’s. Bij mij thuis eten we elke vrijdag patat. Bij mij thuis zijn alle deuren breed genoeg voor de rolstoel van mijn broertje. Hoe is het bij jou thuis? Wat maakt jouw huis een thuis?’ Eén van de thematitels is ‘Samen zijn we thuis’ en die past perfect bij de challenge van vandaag. Een meisje beschrijft waarom haar thuis voelt als thuis. Door het kleedje in de gang, een knuffel van mama, met de liefste mensen samen eten, en alles kunnen vinden met je ogen dicht. Totdat ineens alles verandert. Kun je thuis ook meenemen? ‘Samen zijn we thuis’ is een warm verhaal over een verhuizing waarbij alles anders wordt, maar het belangrijkste blijft: de vertrouwdheid van je eigen gezin. Zo kan elk nieuw huis altijd weer een nieuw thuis worden is de boodschap. • #kinderboekenchallenge #samenzijnwethuis #homeisawindow #stephanieparsleyledyard #chrissasaki #thematitel #bijmijthuis #prentenboek #picturebook #gottmer #illustraties #illustrations #kinderboek #bookchallenge #bookcover #bookstagram #reading #instabook #book #goodread #booklover #ilovereading #leesplezier #spreadthebooklove #lezen #boeken #books #leesbevordering #boekpromotie #bookphotography

じーっくりと読んでおります。 自分のバスケ知識が古くなってるのを 実感しつつもアップデートできてない。 ゴリに高確率で狙ってもらうよりも、 アップテンポで三井や流川に打たせるってのが 今どきのバスケ。 そこらへんの変化のなぜ?がかなり埋まってます。 シチュエーションも最近の例なので、 あの時のレブロンやカリーは こういうプレッシャーくらってたのか!と想像もしやすい。 お腹いっぱいぱいになりながらもまだ半分くらい。 じっくりと昔の試合を思い出しながら読みますよ😄 #NBA #basketball #chrissasaki #book

Sakamoto's Swim Club by Julie Abery⁣ Soichi Sakamoto created a swimming club in 1937 for the children of sugar plantation workers in Maui. He had a plan. His goal was to train them to swim and attend the 1940 Olympics. Sakamoto, a local science teacher with no formal training, created swimming interval training. He built strength and endurance, and his swimmers began to dominate swimming events worldwide. Sakamoto achieved his dream when five of his students won Olympic gold.⁣ ⁣ Read Sakamoto's Swim Club to promote discussions on:⁣ - innovation⁣ - determination⁣ - dreaming big⁣ - hard work⁣ - working towards goals⁣ ⁣ Tag someone who would love this book!⁣ ⁣ Author: Julie Abery @juliedawnabery ⁣ Illustrator: Chris Sasaki #chrissasaki ⁣ Publisher: Kids Can Press @kidscanpress

In the history of animation and cinema, Walt Disney's BAMBI is an iconic milestone. So what if I told you that the artwork of a first generation Chinese American immigrant was integral to the creation of BAMBI? Would you be surprised? Shocked? PAPER SON: The Inspiring Story of Tyrus Wong, Immigrant and Artist tells the true life story of the man whose artwork would inspire the backgrounds and feel of Bambi. Author Julie Leung's text is both lyrical and factual, and the gorgeous artwork of Chris Sasaki carries the emotional weight and heart with every splash of color and line. An afterword with archival photos is also well-written for readers. An inspiring and hopeful book for everyone, but especially for an AAPI community that still fights for recognition that we belong here, and we helped build beautiful things. #bookstagram #books #PaperSon #TyrusWong #Bambi #Disney #JulieLeung #ChrisSasaki #ChineseAmerican #AsianAmerican

AAPI Month starts next week! We’ll start celebrating with PAPER SON by @jleungbooks and @christopher_sasaki. Repost from @asianlitforkids: Did you watch Bambi as a child? Did you know that the leading artist was a Chinese American, Tyrus Wong? He found his inspiration from the hours of calligraphy he practiced as a child and in classical Chinese art from the Song Dynasty. Tyrus' dreamy and sweeping landscapes was the look that became Bambi's signature look. Tyrus Wong, despite his artistic influence, was only credited as a background artist. In a time where Chinese men were often allocated to jobs as a servant, laundryman, and waiter, and in a field where few people of color were, he faced racial bias at every turn. He was also later fired from Disney after an employee strike even though he did not participate. Asian Americans have been an integral part of American culture. His imprisonment in Angel Island as a child, where he had to answer interrogation questions about the number of windows in his house and the number of steps from door to door, was the experience of 50,000 immigrants. His story is American history and I'm grateful that this book tells it. This story is also why I am also so grateful for #ownvoicesauthors who write picture book biographies, and are able to authentically uplift and tenderly tell stories of history wrought with hardship, racism, and of triumph and light. @jleungbook's family is from a village just 40 miles from Taishan, where Tyrus and his dad are from. There is a subtle but essential nuance that is often captured beautifully. This book, with its gorgeous and moving artwork is a stellar example of such. Paper Son, Written by @jleungbooks, Illustrated by @christopher_sasaki, Published by @schwartzandwadebooks 🌟 The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first major federal legislation to explicitly suspend immigration for a specific nationality. After the Gold Rush between 1848 and 1855, anti-Chinese and anti-immigrant sentiments was rampant. Public opinion and laws was wrought with racism, and the exclusion of Chinese migrant workers from immigration lasted until it was officially repealed in 1942, lasting 61 years. 🌟

Sunlight is lengthening as spring approaches, and those precious moments to look at stars with the kids are fading. Identifying constellations is a great way for kids to connect the sky with compass directions, seasons, and hemispheres. 🌌 Constellations is an interactive glow-in-the-dark book with interesting facts about the history of the constellation and when it can be seen. 🌌Stargazers is an educational book about how astronomers look at stars, telescopes, and some helpful pages on constellations. ☺️When my youngest daughter was little, she LOVED looking for constellations. She renamed the Big Dipper as "the shopping cart"!

Hello, friends! Our book today is ANIMAL ARCHITECTS, written by Amy Cherrix and illustrated by Chris Sasaki, a look at some remarkable creatures and their building skills. Have you ever heard of an animal building a trapdoor? Or body armor? Or a 30-foot skyscraper? If not, then you’ve not met the trapdoor spider, the carrier snail, or the termite! This beautiful, fact-filled nonfiction picture book spotlights eleven species in total, each with their own unique talent at crafting and construction. Readers can learn about beaver dams, prairie dog towns, gentoo penguin rock nests, and more. Awesome information with a few hiccups. Cherrix’s text is engaging and fun, and provides some genuinely fascinating facts about the featured creatures. Sasaki’s art is simply gorgeous, using bold brushstrokes and color schemes to create incredibly compelling nature scenes. However, the layout can be mildly confusing - each animal’s profile takes place over the course of a pair of two-page spreads, without any notable transitioning or segueing between them. This often creates a feeling of disorientation when moving from one critter to the next. Another review of this book also mentioned some factual errors in the section on honeybees, which is worth noting, especially in a nonfiction title. Otherwise, the length was fine for an elementary story time, and JJ did earnestly enjoy several of the animal’s talents and the artwork that represented them. Overall, this is an entertaining, visually striking, yet slightly flawed title; we still think it’s worth a look, especially for animal lovers. Baby Bookworm approved. (Note: A copy of this book was provided to The Baby Bookworm by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.) #Books #bookstagram #bookreview #bookrecommendations #childrensbooks #childrensbookreview #kidlit #kidlitreview #picturebooks #picturebookreview #babybookworm #bookworm #bookish #booklr #read #reading #momstagram #animalarchitects #amycherrix #chrissasaki #animals #nature

Talk about a perfect book pairing! Both of these books are focused on animal builders but take different approaches, and would compliment each other incredibly well for a lesson on this topic. . ANIMAL ARCHITECTS (@beachlanebooks) takes a look at the many animals who shape their world (and ours). The illustrations are reminiscent of Eric Carlisle and full of color. Coupled with the many facts, this is a knock out book. . BEAVER AND OTTER GET ALONG … SORT OF (@sourcebookskids) takes a closer look at two animals who coexist and also shape their worlds (perhaps one to the detriment of the other!). This one has more of a story arc to it and is packed full of educational tie-ins at the back (read-aloud tips, social emotional learning, science connections and STEAM activities, to name a few!). . It’s fun when books from different publishers pair up so nicely! Big thanks to each of them for sharing these books with me! . . . #kids #parenting #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #bookstagram #picturebook #childrensbooks #raisingreaders #bibliophile #reading #readingtogether #littlereader #readingwithkids #beaverandottergetalongsortof #sneedbcollardiii #megsodano #sourcebookskids #animalarchitects #amycherrix #chrissasaki #beachlanebooks #gifted

Sakamoto’s Swim Club by Julie Abery, illustrated by Chris Sasaki Grades: PreK - 2 The true story about how a group of children who swam in the irrigation ditches at a sugar plantation on Maui went on to become internationally competitive swimmers. In the 1930s, while their parents worked in the sugar plantation fields, a group of children would escape the Hawaiian heat by swimming and playing in the irrigation ditches. When a local teacher noticed the children consistently getting in trouble, he offered to supervise and teach them to swim in those same ditches. The swimmers’ skills improved, and soon, they set their sights on the Olympics. This is a fantastic book about a little known part of Hawaii history - the Three Year Swim Club! The book is told through rhyming couplets, making it fun for younger students, yet tells such an interesting story that it could be used to introduce topics to older students (or maybe prompt them to write about a historic event in child-friendly couplets?). The illustrations are gorgeous - they convey so much movement and action, and really capture the beauty of Maui. The story itself is inspirational and will encourage more learning about this topic. Swimmers and their coach have brown skin and black hair. An author’s note full of information and a reference guide are included in the book. Themes: Hawaii history, plantations, immigrant working conditions, World War 2, Olympics, dedication, sports, teamwork, make a difference, poetry . . . . . #kidsliterature #childrensliterature #AAPIBooks #Bookstragram #PictureBooksRock #PacificIslands #Hawaii #emergingliterature #SakamotosSwimClub #JulieAbery #ChrisSasaki #ThreeYearsSwimClub #poetry #poetryforkids

Sakamoto’s Swim Club By Julie Abery @juliedawnabery Illustrated by Chris Sasaki @christopher_sasaki Published by Kids Can Press @kidscanpress My oldest is at the age where he asks if people on tv are “real” or not. We’ve finally graduated from only watching things that are animated, so he’s always curious on if the characters use their real names in shows or if it’s all just a ruse. 😂 I love that this applies to books now too. It was interesting explaining that the story of Soichi Sakamoto was in fact a real story, even if the pictures are illustrated. Sakamoto’s Swim Club is an inspirational story on how Soichi, a science teacher in Maui, became a master coach of Olympic athletes. This story begins when Soichi notices kids swimming in irrigation ditches of sugar plantations. They would swim until they were caught & forced to get out. Soichi decides to help fight for them to be allowed to swim in the water & eventually starts training them with a strict regimen. Finally there is a proper pool built in the town & this allows Soichi’s dream to grow. Eventually the Three-Year Swim Club is formed and the dream of becoming Olympic swimmers is even closer. ❤️ I really like that the text in this book is very short & to the point. The illustrations perfectly accompany the story & paint a bigger picture. It’s such a beautiful story! A big thank you to Kids Can Press for sharing this copy with us! 💕 #sakamotosswimclub #julieabery #chrissasaki #kidscanpress #olympics #olympicathletes #olympicswimmers #aapi #maui #hawaii #pacificislands #pacificislander #biography #diverse #diversity #diversebooks #multicultural #read #reading #raisingreaders #lifelongreaders #books #bookworm #bookstagram #booksforkids #picturebooks #kidsbooks #childrensbooks

Home is a window - Stephanie Parsley Ledyard & Chris Sasaki Meertalige kinderboeken lezen? Lees dan eens een prentenboek in de originele taal. Een ontroerend verhaal over wat thuis betekent en wat voor impact een verhuizing op een kind heeft. En wat een mooie illustraties! Nederlandse beschrijving: Wat maakt thuis echt thuis? Het is veel meer dan alleen maar een huis, een raam, een deur, een kleed. De mensen van wie je houdt, maken van een huis een thuis. Het poëtische prentenboek van Stephanie Parsley Ledyard met de warme, stoere beelden van pixar-animator Chris Sasaki gaat over verhuizen. Dat kan best spannend zijn, om de plek die je altijd thuis hebt genoemd te verlaten. Maar het gezin uit het verhaal komt erachter dat het vooral de mensen om je heen zijn die zorgen dat je je echt thuis voelt. Het verhaal is al even prachtig vertaald door Jaap Robben. #homeisawindow #stephanieparsleyledyard #chrissasaki #samenzijnwethuis #vertaling #jaaprobben @jaap_robben #gottmerkinderboeken

In the 1930s, children on Maui played in the irrigation ditches lining the island’s sugar plantations. A local science teacher, Soichi Sakamoto, took an interest in training the kids in proper swimming techniques, reinforcing their “pace, rhythm / strength, speed.” After the sugar company built a community pool, Coach Sakamoto and his swimmers formed the Three-Year Swim Club with hopes of competing at the 1940 Summer Olympics. World War II forced the cancellation of those games, but the story doesn’t end there! Author Julie Avery tells this true story in short passages of rhyming verse, and Chris Sasaki’s illustrations depict smiling young swimmers churning through the water, with the natural beauty of Maui in the background.

This just came in at my library, and I had to recommend it! Paper Son written by @jleungbooks and illustrated by @christopher_sasaki tells the life of Tyrus Wong whose art in Bambi influenced many artists. The picture book does a lovely job telling a brief version of his life, and the art is gorgeous!!! I gushed over every page! I remember learning about Tyrus Wong in an exhibit at the Walt Disney Family Museum, so finding this book meant so much. #picturebook #picturebooks #tyruswong #julieleung #chrissasaki

Canadian experts speak about the lessons learned from the six-month pandemic and the future challenges for the country . Chris Sasaki, a writer from the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Toronto in Canada, recently wrote an article published in U of T News, in which he exposes the ideas of six professionals and lessons that the pandemic has taught to the country of the maple. According to the writer, the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. However, he adds, “it has been with us long enough to clearly expose the failures, inequalities and deficiencies in virtually every sector of society . ” As a result, many have concluded that a “new normalcy ”rather than reverting to the status quo is needed. Sasaki began by asking experts several questions, including four women out of the six interviewees. The conclusions can be summarized in a single idea that is related to the need to rebuild society to make it more, equitable, just and sustainable.

Paper Son - Julie Leung @jleungbooks • illustrated by Chris Sasaki @christopher_sasaki @schwartzandwadebooks . Tyrus was 11 when he and his father came to America in 1921. Despite being well educated in China, Tyrus’s dad, like many immigrants from China, could only work as a servant, a laundryman or a waiter to make a living in America. Without money to buy ink and paper, Tyrus used a brush and water to practice calligraphy on newspapers. . Graduated at the top of his class at the Otis Art Institute, Tyrus worked as an “in-betweener” at Walt Disney. Walt Disney loved Tyrus’s style of landscape paintings, and asked all his animators to follow. #Bambi was a groundbreaking success, yet Tyrus was only credited as a background artist and soon was fired after an employee strike which he was never a part of. But his story didn’t end here, he went on to work as a set designer for a few more films. Many years later, in 2001, Tyrus was awarded with the Disney Legends Award. . Immigrants like Mr. Wong paved the way for all Asian Americans who their hard work were often overlooked. His perseverance as an artist proved that no matter how difficult or unfair it may seems, staying true to yourself and your passion is the greatest reward and joy in life. . #childrensbookstagram #kidsbookstagram #littlebookworm #childrensbooks #raisingreaders #littlereader #kidsbooks #picturebooks #booksforkids #finatasticreads #兒童圖書 #kidlit #illustrations #readaloud #finaandgemmareads #paperson #tyruswong #julieleung #chrissasaki #disneyanimation #art #painting #asianamericanartist

Sakomoto's Swim Club is a rhyming non-fiction story of how a caring adult saw a circumstance that most grown-ups saw as rule-breaking & turned it into life changing. A teacher sees kids swimming in a crop tributary & seeks permission from the security to use it as a training ground for the kids. This moment of observance from an adult with the eyes of a child leads to Olympic gold & a shift in outlook for all. #CheckItOut #joiedelivre #sakomotosswimclub #julieabery #chrissasaki @christopher_sasaki #loveyolibrary

The theme of paper is so important here. Arriving in America as a "paper son," someone fraudulently claiming to be the blood relative of a Chinese American to gain entry to the United States and find a way around America's Chinese Exclusion Act. Learning to read and white on scraps of paper. Attending art school. Producing all the background artwork in Bambi. Making beautiful kites. It all keeps coming back to paper. This book was a fantastic biography of someone truly special, and an excellent reminder of that systemic racism must be dismantled. #paperson #julieleung #chrissasaki #paperchildren #immigrationlaw #systemicracism #diversitymatters #representationmatters #tyruswong

Paper Son: The Inspiring Story of Tyrus Wong, Immigrant and Artist by Julie Leung, illustrated by Chris Sasaki, is the story of an artist whose work and influence you have almost certainly seen even if you’ve never heard his name. Born Wong Geng Yeo, as a young boy he immigrated from China to the US, following his father, and assuming a new name. Wong was always making art, and in the US he worked as a janitor at an art institute before he got chances to make art. While working at Disney, Wong’s backgrounds for Bambi - sparse strokes, soft watercolor washes - caught the eye of those in charge; thankfully they finally recognized the genius of Wong’s approach. Sasaki’s hauntingly beautiful illustrations are especially meaningful: he writes in the endnotes that Wong has long been one of the influences on his own work.

Paper Son written by @jleungbooks, illustrated by @christopher_sasaki | This is such an inspiring biographical picture book about Tyrus Wong’s immigration experience. The stunning artwork weaves perfectly with the words that paint a realistic picture of the struggle of coming to a hostile country, and the hard work and commitment to art Tyrus had in the face of inequality that led to his success. Tyrus Wong was an accomplished artist in many respects, but most famously known for his lead artistic role in disney’s Bambi. (Side fact he lived to be 106 years old!) Full of historical content that is sure to lead to further investigation and reading. Like what went on when immigrating during the Chinese Exclusion Act. Something I didn't know anything about along with the term “paper sons and daughters”. Leading me into learning more and not being able to ignore the similarities of the current treatment of immigrants to America. A beautiful book about a beautiful human, Asian, and American. One that should definitely be added to your Asian American Heritage reading list. #STOPASIANHATE #AAPIHeritageMonth #TheReadingNinja #ReadingisRAD #ChrisSasaki #JulieLeung

En ook voor mijn kinderen had ik deze optelsom niet verwacht. Maar zo lopen dingen soms en mag je weer wennen aan een nieuwe omgeving. En voor dat wennen, of beter gezegd, voor dat thuisgevoel hebben wij thuis iets heel moois. In onze gang hebben wij behang met allemaal schilderijlijstjes. En die lijstjes vullen wij nu op met allemaal mooie herinneringen.

“Before he became an artist named Tyrus Wong, he was a boy named Wong Geng Yeo. He traveled across a vast ocean from China to America with only a suitcase and a few papers. Not papers for drawing–which he loved to do–but immigration papers to start a new life. Once in America, Tyrus seized every opportunity to make art, eventually enrolling at an art institute in Los Angeles. Working as a janitor at night, his mop twirled like a paintbrush in his hands. Eventually, he was given the opportunity of a lifetime–and using sparse brushstrokes and soft watercolors, Tyrus created the iconic backgrounds of Bambi. Julie Leung and Chris Sasaki perfectly capture the beautiful life and work of a painter who came to this country with dreams and talent–and who changed the world of animation forever.” (Penguin Random House) . . .

Paper sons and daughters only existed quite literally on paper, in order to come into the united states. I taught my students about Angel Island recently, & found this book for super cheap on @bookoutlet so i am reading it slowly to them. They are fascinated with stories, especially real ones. Paper Son is about how Tyrus Wong’s story and history played an integral part in illustrating Bambi, but he never got true credit until much later.

3/24/2021, 1:11:59 AM

9-year-old Tyrus Wong sailed from America to China memorizing the details of another boy's life. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 prohibited the immigration of Chinese laborers. As a result, Wong became a "paper son", taking on the identity of a merchant's son in order to immigrate to America. Wong attended art school and worked for Walt Disney. One of his greatest achievements was the creation of impressionistic landscapes that would inspire the movie "Bambi". This book details the life and art of this little-known yet influential American Artist.⁣ @jleungbooks @christopher_sasaki ⁣ #paperson #tyruswong #julieleung #chrissasaki #schwartz&wade #pickabookaday #pennarthistory #westphillyschools #pennalexander #leaschool

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wat is thuis? vraagt een meisje zich in dit troostrijke, hoopvolle prentenboek af. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Het is een mooie vraag, die ze niet zonder reden stelt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want terwijl ze vertelt over al die kenmerkende plekjes in haar huis, over de rituelen, de bijzonderheden die haar huis ‘thuis’ maken, voel je dat er iets te gebeuren staat: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘Thuis vind je met je ogen dicht de weg. Tot alles plotseling verandert.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Het gezin verhuist en moet afscheid nemen van alles en iedereen om het meisje heen. Het missen is verdrietig: ‘Thuis is opeens het kussen onder je arm, het T-shirt dat nog naar je oude kamer ruikt (...) en een broer om tegen te leunen.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ De warmte en vrolijkheid die het gezin en hun hondje uitstralen zit niet alleen in de (door Jaap Robben in zachte, passend vertaalde) woorden, de illustraties zijn even innemend. De diepe aardse kleuren passen prachtig bij het oergevoel dat het boek beschrijft. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‘Thuis is wat je achterliet Terwijl het nieuwe op je wacht.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In dat nieuwe vindt het meisje snel weer het mooie, spannende, het herkenbare en dat komt allemaal doordat ze er woont met de mensen van wie ze houdt, want: ‘Samen zijn we thuis’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tip: Ga je verhuizen? Geef dan niet alleen je eigen kind een boek dat daarbij helpt, maar ook alvast de klas of de kinderopvang waar je kind naartoe zal gaan. Zo kunnen die kinderen ook al eens nadenken over wat thuis voor hen betekent en bedenken hoe zij het zouden vinden als ze daarvan afscheid moesten nemen. Dit soort beeldschone prentenboeken openen de armen… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #samenzijnwethuis #stephanieparsleyledyard #chrissasaki #jaaprkbben #prentenboek #gottmer #thuis #huis #home #verhuizen #lezen #voorlezen #kijken #boekwijzertipt #kinderboek #kinderboeken #boekwijzer

Samen zijn we thuis Stephanie Parsley Ledyard - Chris Sasaki • Wat is thuis? Een huis met de bekende stoel, jouw bed, waar je speelgoed is. Een huis dat staat in een voor jou bekende straat met een buurvrouw die je kent. Wat is jouw thuis? Een tafel met daaromheen je familie. Een plek waar je een knuffel krijgt en waar je voorgelezen wordt voor het slapengaan. 'Thuis vind je met je ogen dicht de weg.' • In dit vierkante prentenboek met een titel, die je vooral in dit jaar op meerdere manieren kunt oppakken, wordt het begrip huis en thuis mooi verwoord in woord en beeld. Een meisje dat een warm thuis heeft en ineens verhuisdozen ontwaart. Kale muren, weg uit de vertrouwde straat, alles ingepakt. Weg van de plek waar je echt alles kent. • Een grote verandering. Je neemt afscheid met een paar vertrouwde spullen in je hand. Spullen die nu je 'thuis' zijn. Met het bekende op weg naar het onbekende. Nieuwe verhalen worden gemaakt terwijl de oude worden achtergelaten maar niet vergeten. Een nieuwe plaats waar oude spullen een plek krijgen. Waar de jou vertrouwde mensen ook zijn. Een nieuw huis waar je ook samen thuis bent. 'Thuis is wat je achterliet - terwijl het nieuwe op je wacht.' • In mooie sfeervolle platen wordt een verhuizing uitgebeeld, beginnend met straten waar het meisje haar hond uitlaat. De tekst, fijn vertaald door Jaap Robben, is misschien eenvoudig, maar daardoor juist zo treffend. De korte zinnen hebben zelfs een poëtisch tintje, naast dat de begrippen thuis en huis een filosofische lading aan het geheel geven. Vragen zoals 'Waar heb jij afscheid van genomen?' of 'Waar en waardoor voel jij je thuis?' kunnen worden gesteld na het samen lezen van dit prentenboek. • Een mooi bijzonder prentenboek dat je laat nadenken, je doet beseffen wat je hebt en wat voor een ander een wens kan zijn. Waar jouw thuis ook is: Samen, dat is waar het allemaal om draait. Aanrader. • • • #samenzijnwethuis #stephanieparsleyledyard #chrissasaki #vertaling #jaaprobben #prentenboek #bespreking #uitgeverijgottmer @gottmerkinderboeken
