WE WILL LIVE IN THIS FOREST AGAIN

Book ID/图书代码： 06430020C00002

English Summary/英文概要： When a thriving forest is swallowed by wildfire the animals brace themselves, then look to new beginnings.

At first, they didn’t notice the spark flying above the dry treetops. But then the smoke blew from the north, and the flames began to grow...

Author/illustrator Gianna Marino uses lush water-colors to explore the bitter-sweet cycle of burning and rebirth in the forest. Readers follow a lone deer as it sees its only home scorched by flame.

A California resident herself, Gianna witnessed the 2017 Sonoma wildfire firsthand when it came within inches of destroying her property. Her personal experience is palpably reflected through her portrayal of dignified animal silhouettes and stark, ashen landscapes in the wake of the fire. The book closes with an essay describing her encounter with the wildfire.

A great book for fans of Don’t Let Them Disappear, also illustrated by Gianna and written by Chelsea Clinton. Parents and children with a soft spot for the fragile ecology of the forest will connect immediately with this book, and gain appreciation for what it takes to protect the natural world. (Zoe)

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一開始，牠們沒有意識到那是一朵火花，接著火焰很快點燃了乾燥的枯葉，然後是整座森林，鋪天蓋地的野火開始了...

這本以野火為主題的繪本來自繪者的親身經驗，她親眼目睹了2017年的加州野火，那場火延燒了二十四萬五千英畝，造成八千九百棟房屋被燒毀（她哥哥的房子也是其中之一）還造成四十一人喪生和成千上萬的野生動物傷亡。

然而，在這本繪本中，Gianna Marino以她細膩的水彩講述了一個永不放棄、充滿希望的故事，也讓我們看到大自然生生不息的生命力。

隨著氣候變遷帶來的極端氣候，長時間的乾旱使得自然引發的野火災情也越來越嚴重，現在仍在進行中的澳洲野火已經燒掉了三個台灣的面積。本書書末附有作者寫下親生經歷野火的經驗，以及關於野火的知識，是一本可以帶領孩子認識這個日益重要的氣候變遷問題的繪本。 (Zoe)

Awards/获奖情况：★ "As the pages turn, evocative gouache paintings silhouetting animals and tangled tree branches shift movingly in hue from green to orange to charred black, then to the cooling blue of rain and the green of new growth."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

★ "The poetic text is powerful and effective at building tension and then providing hope. The color palette perfectly conjures the before, during, and after of the fire while Marino’s lyrical text from the deer’s view point gives it context. It is a potent combination." —School Library Journal, Starred Review

★ "These double-page spreads have the translucence of watercolors and constantly change colors. The yellows and greens of the forest are overtaken by fiery reds and oranges, which turn to sooty gray, then warm brown, with, finally, shoots of green. Reassurance about the resilience of the natural world."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

★ "[A] radiant picture book, which celebrates the resilience of nature." —Booklist, Starred Review
