About this deal

From the skies to the animal kingdom to the people of the world and lots of other beautifully rendered examples of life on Earth, Here We Are carries a simple message: Be kind. -- NPR Here We Are is rather short and sweet, filled with many vivid settings from different, transitional, time periods. Graham Swift writes lovely and interesting sentences, but while I thoroughly enjoyed the reading experience, it didn't add up to very much. Still happy to have read it. This is a useful task to be complete at the end of the story after a lot of discussion and work has been completed.

Sunkiai man sekasi atrasti bendrą kalbą su trumpomis istorijomis. Dažniausiai kamuojuosi - man atrodo, kad pasakyta per mažai, per daug sugrūsta simbolizmo, kuris ir egzistuoja tik vardan simbolizmo, o ir jaučiuosi kaip vaikiškame baseine - nei paplauksi, nei panardysi, toks greitas pasipliuškenimas ir tiek. Panašiai jaučiausi ir bandydama atrasti santykį su "Regimybėmis" - tarsi romanas, tačiau tai man pasirodė veikiau novelė dideliu šriftu, dideliausiais tarpais, dailiausiai įpakuota - viskas čia greitai, glaustai, trumpai, o ir nepakankamai giliai, kad pajausčiau stiprų malonumą. Kad ir kaip stengiausi. O stengtis dėl knygos, bandyti ją prisijaukinti, man save pavyksta įtikinti vis rečiau ir rečiau. Take a tour of our beautiful planet and discover its amazing people, creatures, and places in Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jeffers. The themes of the book include: We have included an activity that encourages your Year 1 \ Year 2 class to complete the sentences by adding in the words or adding in the pictures. The variety show setting on the Brighton Pier makes for many entertaining scenes, but always, there's a sinister threat posed by the nearby sea. From Evie's thoughts: There are no magic wands, Ronnie. There are magic wands, but there are no magic wands. Do you understand me?The sky, sea, land, human body and much more, Oliver Jeffers filled this story with lovely messages of kindness, intertwined with a simple exploration of our world and beyond. In his newest novel, acclaimed author Graham Swift marries the erratic devastations of reality with the elusive probability of magic under the lights of vaudeville, a story of delicate illusions where what one chooses to believe can unearth the most revealing connections. It wasn’t until about half way through the book that I realized that this was Evie, 50 years later, remembering that fateful summer. There is a great presentation towards the end of the novel but it wasn’t enough to make this short novel memorable.

Moments of human intimacy jostle with scenes that inspire cosmic awe, and the broad diversity of Jeffers’s candy-colored humans…underscores the twin messages that ‘You’re never alone on Earth’and that we’re all in this together.”– Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) In 2007, Jeffers was the official illustrator for World Book Day, and in 2008 Lost and Found became Oliver's first book to made into animation by London-based Studio AKA.How many different types of plants can you see in the book? How many animals? How many different habitats? Ir vėl, kaip ir "Motinų sekmadienis", toks be galo lengvas, greit perskaitomas (poilsinis) pasakojimas, niekaip nekomplikuotas, neperkrautas refleksijomis, sudėtingomis sąsajomis, žiauriomis scenomis, etinėmis kolizijomis ir jokiais panašiais dalykais. Ir nepaisant to, geras. Toks kaip geras greitas meistriškas eskizas, kur atrodo nieko nėra ypatingo, bet kažkas neįvardijamo pagauta, ir labai gražu.

Jeffers offers notes on how to live on planet Earth, helping the reader make sense of the world and their role in it. Here We Are encompasses the mountains and oceans, space and constellations, and the animals and people who populate the Earth.The narrator spoke in a monotone for most of the story, almost as if he was sitting next to me and whispering the story in my ear. That is, when he wasn’t singing popular songs from the variety act in 1959 which the book is about.

Moments of human intimacy jostle with scenes that inspire cosmic awe, and the broad diversity of Jeffers’s candy-colored humans…underscores the twin messages that ‘You’re never alone on Earth’ and that we’re all in this together.”– Publisher’s Weekly (starred review) He had an audience of two, and he stood facing them, the green-topped table beside him. He knew by now that the surface was called “baize”, a nice word, but he knew also that the table was not what it seemed. It was a table and not a table, and this might be true of a great many things. It was the first door that you had to pass through, as it were, into a new way of thinking about everything around you. Koks pasimėgavimas yra skaityti jo knygas! Jis taip subtiliai ir išmaniai primėto užuominų ir vilioja. Kaip voras mezga tinklą ir gaudo skaitytoją. Vilioja taip, kad saldu. Ir nors suprantu, kad vilioja, bet niekaip atsispirti negaliu, o ir visai nenoriu. Visiškas skaitymo malonumas!

Jaučiu nepaprastą prielankumą istorijoms, kurioje veiksmas vyksta cirkuose, scenose, veikia magai, jų padėjėjai. Galbūt vis bandau patenkinti tą vidinį magijos poreikį, atsiradusį dar vaikystėje, bet magiško tikrąja ta žodžio prasme pasakojimo stengiuosi nepraleisti. Ir vis dėlto, tikriausiai šį kartą lūkesčiai prasilenkė su realybe - magijos čia nedaug. Daugiau skausmo, neišsakytų žodžių, nutylėtų jausmų. Nuostabus sudėtingų tėvų ir vaikų santykių karo fone portretas, apgalvotas kiekvienas žodis, krustelėjimas, kiekviena smulkmena. Oliver Jeffers' work takes many forms. His distinctive paintings have been exhibited in galleries worldwide, and HarperCollins UK and Penguin USA publish his award-winning picture books, now translated into over 30 languages.
