An important reason for the popularity of picture books is that children can perceive the world and reach empathy by reading picture books with their parents. The children are very clever. Reading picture books can develop their thinking and imagination.
My baby and I have seen so many picture books, most of which are foreign picture books. After all, China has only introduced picture books for more than ten years. Our picture books have a history of less than 20 years, while foreign picture books have a history of more than 200 years, so those classic picture books must be foreign.
But always reading foreign picture books without knowing our own manners and feelings, I think this is not good for children. Children can't just know Christmas, but they don't know Spring Festival. They only know that socks should be put on the bedside on Christmas Eve, but they don't know that we are going to eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival.
So, I tried to choose some picture books about China folk customs for my baby, and I found this book "Happy Spring". Fortunately, it showed me the amazing development speed of China's original picture book, because even my parents like this picture book very much.
The Joy of Spring is an original picture book story by China. Author Zhang Yue was born in 1997, and just graduated from the picture book creation studio of Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2020. With Happy Spring, he won the first prize of excellent graduation design.
The story takes New Year's Eve as the stage and tells the story of Xiaofu the elf falling from the world. On a lonely and helpless night, he walked into an unmanned noodle restaurant. A bowl of hot noodle soup warmed his lost heart. He tried his best to help the little fox and his father fox, and brought the noodle restaurant back to life, and the business was booming.
This is a picture book full of Spring Festival flavor and delicious food. It is a picture book with beautiful pictures, as realistic as animation, and it is a warm-hearted work that enlightens the soul and teaches people kindness.
In the world of books, we often say that happiness is not invisible, but that we are elves with small heads and round bodies. On New Year's Eve, these fat dolls will report to the Moon Palace Fairy and turn them into glowing "New Year greetings" and scatter them on others.
The little hero "Chunfu" in the book is an "unlucky child". Because he was so eager to come into this world, he kept awake with his eyes open. As a result, he fell asleep when he was enlightened.
Missed Koharu's Enlightenment and stumbled into a world without magic.
Lonely, he found an old noodle restaurant. Seeing that Chunfu was hungry and tired, Fox, who was cleaning, kindly invited him into the shop. Father Fox made him delicious noodles.
Fu drank half a bowl of noodle soup in one breath, and he had strength all over. He was curious: "Why didn't anyone come to eat such delicious noodles?"
Father Fox said, "Because people don't believe in foxes, they won't come to eat our noodles."
Therefore, Fu tried his best to bring out the fragrance of noodle soup with his hands and fluttered in the street like a flying ribbon.
Not afraid of the deep alley is the smell of wine. Accompanied by the smell of noodles, everyone came to the noodle restaurant of Fox's house. Koharu Fu managed this small shop from the door to the street.
After a busy day, Fu looked up at the little lucky door flying all over the sky and enviously thought, "If I have magic, I can certainly do more and better things."
In fact, Fu didn't find it himself. He is not the same as before, and his body has light. Because he brought blessings to the fox family, he became a real blessing.
Originally unlucky, because of his kindness, he helped others and achieved himself. Through his own efforts, good luck and good luck will happen to him.
Isn't this "giving someone a rose, the hand has a lingering fragrance"? So, children, when you help others, you will shine. When you are unlucky, it doesn't matter, kind people, good luck will always find you.
As the author said, gentleness and kindness have their own incredible power. They will change your destiny and surprise you.
Seeing the lonely and tired rich, the kind little fox kindly gave him a bowl of noodles, so he got rich's help and turned the store around.
But if the noodles cooked by Father Fox are not delicious, no matter how hard Koharu Fu works, the business of the store will not be booming.
Fox said, "Dad used a lot of materials to cook this soup." Despite the bleak business in the store, Fox's father is still making noodles with great care. He didn't cut corners because there were few customers. It is because of his sincerity in making noodles that the noodles of Fox's family have a strong fragrance and attract so many customers in the street.
As the saying goes, "it takes hard work to strike while the iron is hot" and "mud can't help the wall" Therefore, the noodle restaurant business is booming. Although Fu's help is very important, the most fundamental reason is that Father Fox made noodles with his heart and set up a shop seriously.
The word "serious" is the most frightening word in the world, just like father fox. Although no one trusts the fox and no one comes to the shop to eat noodles, he still works hard and lucky things will come.
A good picture book is a pleasure. When I read this picture book, I have been in a state of rising corners of my mouth, not only because the story is warm and cured, but also because of my love for picture books.
Whether it's a round Koharu Fu or a furry little fox, people really like it. Other animals in the picture, such as giant panda, mouse, raccoon, etc. , are also realistic and lovely.
Especially when Fu picked up the noodle soup and took a long drink, I seemed to really feel the fragrance of the bars outside the screen, which really made my mouth water and my appetite increased greatly.
Judging from the compact rhythm of the story and the aesthetic feeling of the picture, this picture book does not lose those dynamic animations at all, and can make the static picture so vivid. I have to admire the painting skills of Zhang Yue, a post-1995 writer. I deeply feel that the future of China's original picture books is promising.
Picture books have built a world in children's minds, and this world cannot have only one landscape and one color. Even if children have read only a few times, we should respect them and choose high-quality picture books for them.
Paying attention to children's interests, imagination and aesthetic feeling of pictures can expose children to more details of life and give them correct behavior guidance. These excellent picture books can meet the requirements of this book.
