Sweet book that shows even the smallest responsibility is meaningful and nobody is useless. ( ) Longing to be given an important task like other mermaids - something like guarding the giants of the deep, or tending to the forests of kelp - little Pearl asks her mother for something to do. When she is given a single grain of sand to care for, she is immensely disappointed. But then she notices a glow coming from her hands, when she shuts them around the grain, and begins to take its care more seriously. Eventually her grain grows into a huge luminescent ball, one that ascends through the waters, and then through the air, up into the heavens... A sweet original fairy-tale from author/illustrator Molly Idle, who won a Caldecott Honor for her Flora and the Flamingo, Pearl explores the idea that from little things come great ones, and that no task is ever too insignificant to lead to wonderful results. The artwork, as is always the case with Idle, is both beautiful and cute, something that is difficult to pull off, as I usually find that illustrations are one or the other, but not both. The color palette here is just lovely, and Pearl has the sort of winsome expressiveness I have come to expect from a Molly Idle heroine. Recommended to fans of the artist, to young mermaid fans, and to anyone looking for new, original fairy-tales. Pearl, a mermaid, yearns to guard the treasures of the deep like the grown-up mermaids do, but the task her mom gives her - to watch over a single grain of sand - is disappointing. Nevertheless, she does it, and is surprised when the grain of sand begins to transform into a pearl, and then the moon. "The smallest of things can make a great difference, Pearl," her mother tells her. See also: Grandfather Twilight näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
