OAK ISLAND: A TALE OF TWO TREASURES

Book ID/图书代码： 06564012B51914

English Summary/英文概要： This title is suitable for ages 7 to 9 years. For centuries, Oak Island, located off the shores of Nova Scotia, has been the centre of folklore involving a hidden treasure, but this story is not a typical treasure tale or pirate adventure. Instead, it focuses on the not-so-secret treasure that Oak Island offers: a delightful environment to play and daydream in, and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Illustrating that life’s most valuable riches are often gifts from nature, this book teaches children the folly of placing too much value on material things. Organic pencil drawings and sketches help convey the richness of the environment and inspire kids to go out and look for the magic that surrounds them in nature.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书专为7-9岁儿童设计。几百年前，那时候奥克岛还在新斯科舍海岸边，传说在那里藏有无价之宝。但是这个故事不是要告诉我们宝藏的故事或者海盗冒险。事实上，它主要是讲奥克岛可见的无形财富，诸如可供玩耍和做梦的环境、远离尘嚣，摆脱烦恼等。它是要告诉我们生活的赠与从来不是那些可以估价的宝贝，而是源于大自然的馈赠。它要孩子们记住物质不是一切。作者的文和其夫的画相得益彰，完美无瑕。(XJJ)

Awards/获奖情况：2011.7.31，《先锋时事报》（The Chronicle Herald ）：“本书是由卢嫩堡的玛丽安妮及其丈夫首次携手合作的作品。在文末，玛丽写道，宝藏不仅仅是埋在地下的，其实这整个岛已经是无价之宝了。希尔兹的铅笔彩绘也是童味十足，令人笑逐颜开。”

"Oak Island" is a lovely first book by Lunenburg’s Mary Anne Donovan and her husband Travis Hiltz. The real treasure, Donovan writes at the end of her delightful rhyming journey, ’is not just below, it’s the island itself.’ Hiltz’s coloured-pencil artwork has a playful feel that made me smile as I read the story." --"The Chronicle Herald "(July 31, 2011)

She pursued a career in the Biotechnology field, which brought her to Chester, Nova Scotia, and led to publication in several scientific journals. After the birth of her second daughter and countless weekends spent at the beach, hiking, adventuring with small children and enjoying life’s simple moments, Mary Anne combined her passions for nature and writing in Oak Island – A Tale of Two Treasures.
