The combination of Shuntaro Tanikawa's poems and picture books "Mom, why? 》

"Mom, why? This picture book is about the dialogue between three rabbits and their mothers. The content of the picture book is Japanese, and a poem written by the famous poet Shuntaro Tanikawa when he was young is called Chuan. The beautiful pictures in the picture book come from the famous Japanese children's picture book painter Nakamura. The color of the picture is elegant, the brushwork is delicate and the artistic conception is far-reaching.

Three little rabbits and their mother looked at the distance. The rabbits kept asking their mother questions about the river, and her mother answered them with all kinds of wonderful answers.

? My understanding of this picture book is: mother rabbit always hopes that rabbits can adapt to the world in the forest by themselves, but at the same time, she is worried that they will be hurt in various ways and wants to protect them in her wings. This ambivalence has always existed, and mother rabbit is constantly choosing.

Until the little rabbit asked, "Mom, why doesn't the river rest?"

? Mother rabbit replied, "Well, it's because Mother Hai is waiting for the river to come home."

The word "that's it" shows that mom is thinking and clearly tells the rabbits that no matter where you go, mom will always wait for you to come home. At this time, the mother rabbit felt that she should let go and let the children go to the forest to experience themselves.

? Three little rabbits finally left their mother rabbits to experience and grow in the forest. On the previous page, three rabbits and their mother were sleeping under the big tree. On the next page, three rabbits run to the sun, as if telling readers that children should leave their mothers to adapt to the forest world. Three little rabbits went through all kinds of dangers in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and finally the three rabbits ran to the seaside, which meant that the little rabbits grew into big rabbits.

? After reading the whole picture book, I feel a gentle mother who drew beautiful pictures for the children by answering their questions. Give children a yearning for the future and tell them that love, hope and courage are the magic weapons to face the future.
