Odds and Ends

商品描述

有些人收集筆、貝殼或郵票；也有人收集朋友、旅行，或世界紀錄。而這本繪本介紹的，是一個女孩很特別的收藏——她收藏的是各種「最後一次」。

這個善於觀察、心思細膩的孩子，對情感十分敏銳，分享了她收集到的那些奇妙、古怪，卻又令人動容的「最後時刻」：最後一個冷到還要戴上毛帽的日子、從高台跳下前最後一口緊張的呼吸、班上最後一位掉牙的同學、最後一塊巧克力，還有一個人走到生命盡頭時，最後說出口的話。

這本來自芬蘭、譯文迷人的繪本，以鉛筆與水彩繪出細緻美麗的畫面，帶領讀者探索各種「最後一次」——有些最後，可能悄悄開啟新的開始；有些最後，則真的意味著結束。書中流動著害怕、悲傷、滿足、想念與快樂等情緒，以溫柔的筆觸描繪小女孩收藏的最後時刻，成就一本帶著淡淡惆悵、卻十分暖心的繪本。

《Odds and Ends》像是一冊記憶的收藏，也邀請每位讀者打開對話，想一想屬於自己的那些「最後一次」。

In this charming translated work from Finland, an imaginative child makes a scrapbook of "lasts" instead of "firsts," inviting readers to reflect on what they hold onto and save.

Some people collect pens, shells, or stamps. Others collect friends, trips, or world records. This picture book shares one girl’s unusual collection: a collection of lasts.

With a feel for the poignant, the bittersweet, and the odd, an observant, emotionally astute child shares the whimsical, eccentric, and touching lasts she has collected, from the last day cold enough for a wool cap, to the last anxious breath before a high dive, to the last person in her class to lose a tooth, to the last piece of chocolate, to the last words of a whole life.

Beautifully illustrated in pencil and watercolor, this is an exploration of lasts that might set something new in motion—or might bring finality. There are feelings of fear, sadness, contentment, longing, and happiness here, making for a wistful picture book in which a young girl’s collection of last moments is depicted with a warm touch.

Odds and Ends is a collection of memories which invites open discussion of each reader’s personal lasts.
