Produktbeschreibung
A surprising, universal, and gorgeously illustrated story about self-acceptance, love, friendship, and the joy of embracing different perspectives, this beautiful picture book by acclaimed author Richard Jackson and two-time Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka presents a puddle with a distinct point of view. Puddle sits despondently in the playground, observing the world around her as she is dimpled by rain, splashed by shoes, piddled on by a poodle, bounced by a basketball, and stirred up by an inquisitive seagull. But when the sun makes a sudden appearance, Puddle meets an admiring new friend who lifts her spirits and makes her feel loved. Richard Jackson's playful text shines with rhythm, repetition, and surprising turns of phrase, and Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka's luminous paintings achieve the impossible?oh, sweet Puddle! A memorable story of friendship, love, and changing your point of view.

Autorenporträt
Richard Jackson is an editor and author. He says: ?Akaraka is a word in the Igbo language; a meaningful word to the Igbo-speaking people of southwestern Nigeria. It refers to marks on a person's hand that spell out that person's fate or destiny. At the time she used it, in 1997, my granddaughter, Kelsey Albert, then three years old, couldn't have realized this. She liked the sound, as do I for this story, in which my role is played by her father. I am now a writer, not a raker. I've published seven books for young people, among them This Beautiful Day, illustrated by Suzy Lee, and In Plain Sight, which was illustrated by Jerry Pinkney and awarded a Coretta Scott King Honor for illustration.?
