There are only birds on the butterfly page. On the title page, there is a teenager lying on the grass on the hillside, looking up at the sky and watching the birds cross the sky. ...
On that day, I counted your fingers and kissed them gently.
On that day, the first snow fell, I held you high and watched the snow melt on your tender skin.
That day, we crossed the road together, and you held my hand tightly.
Once, you were my baby.
Now, you are my girl.
Sometimes, when you fall asleep and watch you fall asleep, I begin to imagine. ...
One day, you will jump into the cold and clear lake.
One day, you will walk into a secluded forest alone.
One day, your eyes will be filled with deep joy and shine.
One day, you will run so fast that you feel your heart beating like a flame.
One day, you will swing higher than ever before.
One day, you will be surrounded by pain because of those sad things.
One day, you will sing loudly in the wind and let the song float in the wind.
One day, I will stand on the porch and watch you wave to me and drift away.
One day, you will look at our home and wonder how big it is in your memory and how small it looks at the moment.
One day, you will feel the small weight on your strong back.
One day, I will watch you comb your child's hair.
After a long time, one day,
Your hair will also shine silver in the sun.
When that day comes, my love, you will definitely remember me.
The last picture, the photo in the photo frame on the table, is the photo of the mother "counting her daughter's fingers and gently kissing all over her body" that day. This contrast between the past and the future is a continuation of life and a relay of love.
Mother accompanied her daughter to grow up day by day, and her daughter went from holding her hand across the street to walking into the forest alone, from running fast to singing in the wind. Watching the child leave the back of his mother's house, he drifted away. We can feel our mother's sadness and tears. At this moment, ordinary maternal love is warm because of delicacy and great because of selflessness. The free and easy figure of her daughter when she left home shows that she could not feel her mother's mood at that time. One day, her daughter got married and had her own daughter. She combed her hair and grew up with her. When her daughter is old and lying in a chair with silver hair, she should miss her mother. At this moment, she should have understood the great maternal love of "she sewed carefully, she made up thoroughly, and she was afraid that the delay would make him go home late."
The first time I saw this picture book, it was a black and white Chinese and English version printed by my lover on A4 paper! Although the picture is a bit blurred, I was deeply attracted and then moved. A few years later, I found this picture book translated into Chinese. On the day my daughter was born, I gave this picture book to her and her mother as the first gift. I think one day, she will understand. ...
This picture book is profound and intimate. First of all, it is not necessarily children who listen to stories, but mothers or fathers who read picture books. Perhaps it is because children are too young to understand the full meaning of fatherly love and maternal love. There is an old saying in China that "parents are grateful only when they are raising their children". It is estimated that when they have their own children and comb their daughters' hair, they will arouse childhood memories and realize their parents' selfless love!
So! No matter you are a new mother, your children have grown up, and no matter how old you are, reading this picture book will produce a * * * sound and will be deeply moved.
If you are a daughter or son, please read this picture book to your parents! They will like it and be moved!
