Book ID/图书代码： 11710410B39383

English Summary/英文概要： When beloved and award-winning picture-book author and illustrator Don Freeman died in 1978, his son, Roy, inherited his father??s vast archive of art and stories. In that treasure trove, Roy recently discovered some artwork and a story set in Washington, D.C., about a squirrel gathering nuts for the winter. The project was promising but unfinished, so Roy decided to partner with his father??thirty years after his death??to bring the book to life.

One More Acorn is more than an adorable, heartwarming story about a squirrel looking for that one last acorn??it??s a son??s homage to his father. And having an all-new original Don Freeman picture book is a true publishing event.

About the Author/作者介绍： 生於聖地牙哥，兒時的他曾收到一支喇叭作為禮物，他立即深深迷戀上這種樂器，最後他加入了加利福尼亞歌舞團。從大學畢業後，他前往紐約進修藝術，進修期間，他依靠在婚禮及俱樂部吹奏喇叭賺取自己的生活費。
在一次意外的事故中，Don Freeman失去了心愛的喇叭。從那以後，他開始另一種生活，為《紐約時報》和《邁阿密先驅報》提供百老匯歌舞劇的寫生畫稿，出於對歌舞劇院的熱愛，這份新工作同樣令他陶醉，沉迷其中。
當美國小說家威廉??薩洛揚邀請他為幾部童書作畫後，Don Freeman終於步入了兒童文學的奇妙世界。很快，他開始創作自己的作品，在他的創作過程中，Don Freeman可以設計屬於自己的劇院，這讓他感到由衷地充實和快樂。
Don Freeman於1978年去世，他生前創作了許多部優秀作品，其中最膾炙人口的要數《Corduroy》。
Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California danceband. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students? League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.
Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for the New York Times and the Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident; he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater.
He was introduced to the world of Childrens? Literature, when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: ?I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what?s next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It?s all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it?s such a pleasure. I don?t know when the time ends. I?ve never been happier in my life!?
Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear, named Corduroy.
