THE STORY OF HURRY
Book ID/图书代码: 12070014B67606
English Summary/英文概要: The Story of Hurry tells of a donkey who witnesses the sadness and suffering and fear of children in the occupied Gaza Strip and helps them the only way he can: by turning into a zebra with the help of a zoo man, his best friend, and some paint, so that these children can taste the freedom of traveling in their imaginations to far-off places. Based on true events as told by Emma Williams, together with wry and playful illustrations by Ibrahim Quraishi, the story gives us the clairvoyance of children to see the world in which we live in all its true wonder and pathos.
Not since Monroe Leaf’s bestselling The Story of Ferdinand--a simple antiwar tale about animals that was first published 80 years ago, banned in Spain and Germany and sells around the world now--has there been such a gentle, compelling book about animals and war. In Hurry, author Emma Williams and Ibrahim Quraishi have created a book for today that is as provocative--and as soothing--as Ferdinand continues to be.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 《哈里的故事》讲述了一只驴的故事,他见证了被占领的加沙地带的儿童的悲伤,痛苦和恐惧,他可以帮助他们的唯一方式:在动物园工人,他最好的朋友和一些油漆的帮助下变成一只斑马,这样孩子们就可以品尝到在他们想象中的遥远地方旅行的自由的滋味。这是由艾玛•威廉姆斯讲述的基于真实事件的故事,并附有扭曲和好玩的易卜拉欣•科瑞斯的插图,这个故事以孩子们的洞察力带领我们去看看我们生活的世界里的所有真正的奇迹和悲怆。
不同于曼罗•里夫的畅销故事《爱华的牛》,这只是一个简单的关于动物的反战故事,首次发表于80年前,曾在西班牙和德国被禁,如今在世界各地销售——这是一个温柔和令人信服的关于动物和战争的书。在《哈里的故事》中,作者艾玛•威廉姆斯和易卜拉欣•科瑞斯创造了一个和《爱花的牛》一样挑衅和安慰的故事。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况:“这本书处于传统的民间故事和严峻的新闻报道之间,对于那些认为自己的孩子不应该回避巴勒斯坦青年面对的现实,但又拒绝将他们描绘成纯粹的受害者的传教士的叙述的家庭来说有很大的代沟。《哈里》是一个关于挑战和创新的阻力的故事,充满了幻想但又接近现实。”——印加纳,《积极分子》的作者
"Between traditional folk tales and grim news coverage, there is a gap for families who feel their children should not be sheltered from the realities that Palestinian youth face, but also reject the missionary narrative that would paint them purely as victims. Hurry is a story of challenges and creative resistance that is both fantastical and grounded."—Innosanto Nagara, author of A is for Activist
