那些美好却消逝的事物
内容简介
凯特·格林威大奖作品，中英双语呈现，精美大幅插图，让孩子重塑童年、重回自然。2007年，被学校广泛使用的新版《牛津中级词典》出版时，人们注意到，大约40个有关自然的常用词被删除了。很显然，这些词已经不再被孩子们使用，不值得在词典中占有一席之地。这些“消失的词语”包括橡子、蝰蛇、蓝铃花、树莓、马栗、蕨草、石楠、翠鸟、水獭、乌鸦、柳树、鹪鹩等，取而代之的词语包括附件、博客、宽带、剪切、粘贴以及语音邮件等。户外和自然被室内和虚拟所取代。十年后，罗伯特·麦克和杰姬·莫里斯开始创作一本 “魔咒书”，它将“唤回”20个消失的词语，以及它们所命名的生命。通过文字和绘画的魔力，他们试图将这些词再次召唤到儿童和成人的世界中。《消失的词汇》出版后，已经对数十万人施展了其非凡的魔力，在英国、欧洲和北美掀起了一场重塑童年、重回自然的活动。本书被英国书商评为2019年Z美的书。阅读这本书时，家长可以引导孩子进行深度的思考，也可以和孩子一起共同反思这些自然生态的变化所带来的不可弥补的损失：消退的不仅仅是自然和语言，更将是孩子的丰富想象力和未来生活的精彩世界。
