In "Fantasy Journey of Boasting Dad", although dad is particularly unreliable, he only reads newspapers at home, regardless of housework, and occasionally goes out to buy a milk, but he doesn't come back after a long time ... Shh ... Maybe every dad is a superhero and accidentally saves the universe! This is a brain-opening adventure story, full of whimsy and a sense of humor that makes people laugh. This is a story that children who don't like reading can't put it down, and it can also cultivate their imagination and interest in science.
The foothold of "Miracle Boy and Frost Giant" is still that the love of parents is the source of children's inner strength. Even if parents are not around, the protection generated by this strength will help children fight monsters all the way and become stronger themselves. Xiaoqi, a lame boy who lost his father, remarried with his mother. He couldn't stand his stepfather's moodiness and lived alone in a mountain hut. Under the guidance of a fox, Xiaoqi rescued a bear that was stuck in a tree because he was greedy for honey, and took in the fox, the bear and an eagle. What's even more amazing is that these three animals were transformed from three famous gods-Thor, Loki and Odin. They asked Xiaoqi to go to Asgard to defeat the frost giant and save the world.
If I had a miracle mother seems to be a fantasy story written for children, but in fact, as an adult, I read a lot of enlightenment and reflection from it. On the surface, Caroline is basically in a state of stocking every day, and her parents don't control her much. But this kind of stocking also means that she is not respected in this family. Whether she ignores her opinions again and again when her mother buys clothes for her, or it is difficult to swallow her father's own food, she is faintly dissatisfied with this family. That's why there is a mirror world in the book.
I wonder, what kind of perfect parents do children need? Caroline told me that she needs not only material care but also spiritual companionship, to be hugged, cared for and respected.
Generally speaking, these three kinds of parents are not perfect, and they all have some problems more or less. However, what Neil Gaiman wants to tell you may be that there are no perfect parents in this world, and there are many ways to express love. ?
