Jim Treize, a famous American reading research and promotion expert, said in the book Reading Manual:

Let children read more books and take advantage of the winter vacation, which is the time to open the gap between children! Transcendence is at this time.

It is very important to cultivate children's reading interests and habits, and it is even more important for children to read a good book. So, what kind of book is a good book?

Choose good books for children and become a literary guide in the family. I recommend Hello Lighthouse for the following reasons:

1. Good books can span all ages.

A good book always attracts readers of different ages. Although Hello Lighthouse is a children's book, it not only attracted my son, but also deeply attracted me.

We live in the northwest, and we have never seen the vast blue sea or the indestructible lighthouse, but in the book, my son and I appreciate the charm of the choppy sea and lighthouse through the superb painting skills of the painter.

The painter vividly shows the mystery and vastness of the sea with simple lines and geometric figures.

The painter's clever use of color makes readers feel the harmonious and solemn natural beauty visually. They are soft, pure and not dazzling, very close to reality, and can also respond to emotions.

When the tower keeper is alone on the island, he is lonely. At this time, the picture is huge waves and dark clouds. When my wife went to the island, her job was still the same, but life was full of romance and warmth. At this time, the white whale appeared in the blue sky, and the sky was covered with the graceful northern lights.

When the tower keeper's wife came to the lighthouse for the first time, the painter used red with high saturation, which symbolizes sacredness, solemnity and enthusiasm, giving readers a gorgeous and dazzling impression.

When they left the lighthouse, their wife's red skirt was old.

The tension of details and the artistic appeal of the picture inspire children to observe things from an innovative perspective.

In addition, Hello Lighthouse adopts a relatively rare thin strip format. Children get books, and books are like a towering lighthouse.

After opening, the circular close-up not only shows the circular room, but also gives us an immersive illusion, as if we saw such a lonely but dedicated person between the sea and the sky through the telephoto telescope on the shore.

2. Good books make readers full of hope.

A good book is like a lighthouse on the vast sea, illuminating the unknown distance and illuminating our hearts.

Hello Lighthouse tells a lonely and romantic story. In an era when automation has not replaced manpower, a family guards the lighthouse.

On the distant horizon, there is an island, on which stands a lighthouse. From dusk to dawn, the light beam from the lighthouse always faces the sea and guards the passing ships. ...

From this warm and harmonious story, some people saw the ordinary and guardian, some people saw the courage and responsibility, some people saw the concentration and fraternity, and I saw the ideal and positive work attitude.

There are 1000 hamlets for every 1000 readers. In short, this is a story full of positive energy, which can fill the hearts of young readers with hope and strength.

Ideal is the beacon of life, indicating the direction of human progress.

As soon as I got the book, my 6-year-old son asked me, what lighthouse? What does a lighthouse do?

With such questions, we began to read. In the process of reading, my son suddenly remembered the story of Wang Wang's rescue at sea he had seen before. Combining the old and new knowledge, the son came to the conclusion that the lighthouse is the eyes of the crew and guides the lost ship.

Taking this opportunity, I told my son that ideal is the beacon of life, which points out the direction of human progress. Obviously, the 6-year-old son can't fully understand the meaning of ideal. One minute he said he wanted to be a great policeman and help others when he grew up. The next minute he said he wanted to be the owner of a toy store, so he had countless toys.

Cai Xiaoxiao, called "Doctor's Dad" by Lu Yu, has raised six children and five doctors. His parenting experience is worth learning from every parent. "Determined from childhood" is the core of Cai Xiaoxiao's family education.

Under the influence of such family education, every child has great ambitions since childhood, and the youngest daughter will be "Madame Curie of China" at the age of five, and has struggled for it all her life.

If a person has no goal, his future will dry up; A person without ideals will be mediocre all his life.

This book can sow the seeds of ideals and dreams for children.

Watchmen's active and dedicated working attitude is worth learning.

The work of the tower keeper is simple, repetitive and even boring. Every day is to polish the mirror, trim the wick, fill the lamp oil and write down the lighthouse log. These descriptions appear many times in the book, only emphasizing the monotony of the work of the tower keeper.

The tower keeper is still lonely, far away from the hustle and bustle, facing the sea all day, accompanying the lighthouse, waiting for food, fresh water and newspapers sent by outsiders, and living a "prisoner" life.

However, it is such a working environment that the tower watchers still maintain a positive and full working attitude, overcome difficulties, conscientiously complete their daily work, and live a poetic life with their wives.

Watchmen's active and dedicated work attitude is worth learning from children and us adults.

This reminds me of Haruko Xinjin, who was rated as a "national treasure craftsman" in Japan in 20 16. His father was Japanese, an orphan in World War II, and his mother was from Shenyang.

When Xinjin Haruko 17 years old, her family moved to Japan. Because she doesn't know the language and how to communicate with people, she has to do the only cleaning job she is willing to hire, and it is 2 1 year.

According to our ordinary people's thinking, Xinjin Chunzi has been like this in her life, doing nothing, working at the bottom of society, having no social status and having a high economic income.

However, Haruko Xinjin works actively and treats cleaning very seriously and thoughtfully. Even if there is a withered flower in the flower bed, she will clean it up in time. She can recite the usage of more than 80 kinds of detergents and quickly analyze the causes and components of stains.

Every day when she comes to the office, she will take out a pair of dumbbells weighing 5 kilograms and exercise her wrists and abdominal muscles. She said that the physical strength of the cleaner is very high, and she is worried that she will not be able to persist when she is old.

Haruko Xinjin showed the world how a cleaner can become a national treasure "craftsman" and successfully counterattack in the most ordinary jobs.

Therefore, we should teach children a positive, optimistic and responsible work attitude. It is not the CEO or the mayor who does a good job, but does every minute, every second, three meals a day, undertakes trivial work and protects ordinary families.

The real guardian is not extraordinary ability, but patience and responsibility.

Win the Cadillac gold medal

Hello Lighthouse is an excellent picture book. Of course, I am not the only one in charge of its Excellence, but a masterpiece that has stood the test and time.

In 20 19, this picture book won the Kadik gold medal. You should know that the Kadik gold award is of great significance in the picture book industry. The Cadic Prize is known as the "Oscar" in picture books. It only has one gold award every year, and both the content and the picture represent the highest level of the picture book.

Hello, Lighthouse was written by Sophie Black, a world-famous picture book master. She won two Cadic Gold Awards and three new york Times Best Book Awards.

Another of her works that won the Kadik gold medal is 20 16 "Looking for Winnie the Pooh".

A good picture book is not necessarily an award-winning picture book, but an award-winning picture book is definitely a good picture book. Reading begins with classics.

Write it at the end

Children, may you have a lighthouse in your heart and a direction in the future.

In fact, every child has a lighthouse in his heart, waiting to be lit, and his parents are the watchmen of this lighthouse.

I also hope that every parent can face life positively and optimistically and pursue the goal of life stubbornly like a tower keeper.
