In a lyrical story by Mary Murphy—now in traditional Chinese—this gorgeously illustrated book by award-winning artist Zhu Cheng-Liang, a child offers an ode to her favorite things — and people.
What I like most in the world is my window. This morning, through my window, I see the postman at the red gate...
A little girl observes, one by one, things that give her pleasure — the apricot jam on her toast, the light-up shoes that make her feet bounce, the sparkling river, the pencil whose colour comes out like a ribbon.
But even after the jar becomes empty, and the shoes grow too small, and the pencil is all used up, one thing will never change.
In a tenderly imagined story, Mary Murphy celebrates the intimacy of the bond between mother and child, while Zhu Cheng-Liang’s wonderfully inviting artwork brings the day-to-day details to life.
