New Releases by Taro Gomi

Un ternero bonito proporciona el fondo – literalmente – para este cuento encantador. Con cada doblada de pàgina, el animal joven se transforme imaginativamente para reflejar un cambio de las cuatro temporadas: nieve derritiendose, semillas brotando, la cosecha, regresando a la nieve derritiendose de nuevo, y revelando que el ternero ha crecido. El cuento sigue el ciclo de las temporadas de una primavera a la proxima, y su texto fluido y minimo – en combinacion con las ilustraciones vigorosos – trasmite vividamente los temas subyacentes de la renovación y el crecimiento. Los colores son alegres y juguetónes, y el enfoque lucido del artista con la perspectiva resulta en un libro lindisimo.

A little girl experiences the many gifts of friendship in this edition of the colorful children’s book presented simultaneously English and Spanish. Vibrant illustrations and a simple, rhythmic text are perfectly blended in this spirited homage to friendship as a little girl recounts all the things she has learned from an enchanting menagerie of animal friends: “I learned to run from my friend the horse. I learned to sing from my friends the birds. I learned to read from my friends the books. And I learned to love from a friend like you.” The bold graphic design and brightly colored illustrations that have become the trademark of Taro Gomi’s work will appeal to both children and adults. Praise for My Friends “In this ode to everyday activities and things, a free-spirited girl hops, jumps and kicks her way across the countryside, paying homage to her friends along the way. . . . Gomi’s meticulous sense of design and careful use of brilliantly colored, highly delineated images imbues the story with a sense of the wonder and delight to be derived from life’s simplest—but bountiful—moments.” —Publishers Weekly “A little girl recites all the pleasurable things she has learned from her friends. . . . including such meaningful things as reading and studying and, most importantly, loving. . . . An elemental story that will reach toddlers and older preschoolers alike.” —Booklist

“With pleasing design and a multiplicity of details to discover, this variation on the game of ‘I Spy’ is sure to please the youngest.” —Kirkus Reviews “As a bus progresses on its route to the garage, where it will park for the night, various travelers—actors, commuters, families—hop off at their stops. When a number of riders is named (for example, 10 baseball players disembark and head for a playing field), readers can count along, but more often, the text suggests different objects to pick out from each spread. Gomi’s pictures are beautifully composed [and] will appeal to children for their simplicity, and to adults for their strong graphics.” —Publishers Weekly

L’hora del bany pot esdevenir també un moment per jugar i divertir-se. Amb "Som-hi, a banyar-se!", a més de gaudir d’unes il·lustracions molt senzilles i semblants als dibuixos dels mateixos infants, també tenim una bona eina perquè els adults ajudin als més petits a guanyar en autonomia.

Bainuaren ordua atsegin eta josteta unea izan daiteke. Umeen estiloaren antzera egindako irudiekin disfrutatzeko aukera eskaintzeaz gainera, «Bainura!» laguntza tresna ere bada, gurasoek seme-alabei autonomia hartzen lagun diezaieten: garbitzea edo jatea bezalako jarduera errazak helduen laguntzarik gabe egin ahal izateko, portaerazko jarraibideak beharko dituzte autonomoak izaten hasteko. Haur hizkera orrialde guztiotan topatuko da: onomatopeiak, ikus- eta hitz-jolasak, liburu hurbil eta erakargarria bihurtzeko. Ipuineko protagonistari, haur gehienei gertatzen zaien bezala, nagikeria ematen dio bainatu behar izateak, batez ere jolasari utzi behar izateagatik. Egilearen beste estrategia bat umea lehoiz mozorratzea da, gizakien eta piztien arteko desberdintasuna agerian uzteko: piztiek ez dute arroparik erabiltzen ez eta xaboiz garbitzen ere. Txalekoa, praka edo barruko arropa kentzea ezinbesteko urratsak izango dira bainuontzira joateko; baina behin han dagoela, jolasa ez da zertan amaiturik, batez ere bainuaren ordua irudimenez inguratzen denean. Taro Gomi-ren obraren ezaugarrien artean sormen askatasuna eta gizarteko lotsa edo ahalkeak ezarritako arauekin hausteko joera aurki daitezke. Hala, ilustratzaileak umearen biliztasuna erabateko naturaltasunez irudikatzearen aldeko apustua egiten du.
