Джоан Шварц5.0 A young boy wakes up to the sound of the sea, visits his grandfather’s grave after lunch and comes home to a simple family dinner with his family, but all the while his mind strays to his father digging for coal deep down under the sea. Stunning illustrations by Sydney Smith, the award-winning illustrator of Sidewalk Flowers, show the striking contrast between a sparkling seaside day and the darkness underground where the miners dig.
With curriculum connections to communities and the history of mining, this beautifully understated and haunting story brings a piece of Canadian history to life. The ever-present ocean and inevitable pattern of life in a Cape Breton mining town will enthrall children and move adult readers.
Марианна Дюбюк4.6 Tous les dimanches ensoleillés, Madame Blaireau emprunte le sentier qui mène au sommet de la montagne. Au cours du trajet, elle salue ses amis, contemple la nature environnante et récolte champignons et autres trouvailles. Un matin, elle rencontre Lulu qui aimerait bien, lui aussi, voir le sommet du monde.
