O küçük bir kız çocuğu, kelimeler denizinde yelken açan, hikayelerin içinde maceradan maceraya koşan ve ufacık bir hayalgücü ve umutla her şeyin olabileceğine inanan bir kız çocuğu. Oliver Jeffers ve Sam Winston´dan "A Child of Books" kitabı yeni yılın ilk kitabı olsun istemiştim ama bu derece derin anlamlar yükleneceğini bilememişim... Kitabın bir yerinde diyor ki "some people have forgotton where I live" ... umut etmeyi, hayal etmeyi, yaşamayı, kelimeleri, masalları, hikayeleri, kitapları biz unutmayalım ve çocuklarımıza da unutturmayalım... Hayatımda okuduğum ve sahip olduğum en değerli kitaplardan biri oldu A Child of Books... Walker Books´tan, İngilizce ve 4 yaş üzerine uygun.
