Listening to Trees de Holly Thompson

Listening to Trees

Autor Holly Thompson Ilustrat de Toshiki Nakamura
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2024 – vârsta până la 12 ani
A poetic and moving picture book biography celebrating the life and work of the visionary Japanese American woodworking artist George Nakashima.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, George Nakashima began a love story with trees that threaded throughout his remarkable life as architect, designer and woodworker. During World War II, George, with his wife Marion and their baby daughter, endured incarceration in Minidoka prison camp, where he drew comfort from the discipline of woodworking. Once free, George dedicated the rest of his life to crafting furniture from fallen or discarded trees, giving fresh purpose and dignity to each tree, and promoting a more peaceful world.

Author Holly Thompson narrates Nakashima’s life using haibun, a combination of haiku and prose, which twines smoothly through Toshiki Nakamura’s earthy illustrations. A foreword by Nakashima’s daughter Mira and robust back matter will deepen young readers' understanding of woodworking and poetry and offer added insights to the work of a master artisan.
