Over the years, the works of Kadick Award have been introduced into China, as follows:

Kadick has always been the most authoritative picture book award in the United States, and it is the American Library Association's commemoration of Rudolf, an illustrator of British children's literature.

Stone Soup

author/illustration: Marcia Brown.

reading age: 4~12 years old.

award time: 1948.

A European folktale full of philosophy. Three soldiers came back from the war, hungry and tired. They saw a small village in the distance, hoping to find food and accommodation there. The villagers knew this in advance, so they hid anything that might be useful to the soldiers. When they arrived in the town, the soldiers found that there was no family hospitality and nothing to share.

The soldiers said that they were going to cook a delicious stone soup. First of all, we need a soup pot, so the children moved to a big soup pot; The villagers brought water and stones and made a fire.

The soldier added: Any soup needs salt and pepper. The children brought the salt and pepper from home. Then, the villagers brought carrots, potatoes, beef, cabbage, barley and milk from home one after another ... A pot of rich soup was cooked, and the fragrance was overflowing. The villagers also brought a table in Zhang greatly for everyone to enjoy a big meal together.

Every villager took out the food from home, enjoyed a beautiful stone meal, and shared the residence with three soldiers. The next day, all the villagers came to bid farewell to the soldiers. They said gratefully, thank you for letting us know how to make delicious stone soup to fight hunger.

In addition to presenting the life philosophy of sharing and harvesting with classic words, the illustrations in picture books are also interesting in paying attention to details and rich facial expressions of characters. For example, villagers who were "penniless" at the beginning sent packages one after another when the soldiers left, and the design was exquisite.

A Chair for My Mother

author/illustration: Vera B Williams.

reading age: 4~8 years old.

award time: 1983.

This is a story that turns disaster into warmth. My mother works as a waiter in a restaurant. Every day after school, the little girl will come to her mother's work place to help earn some change. The grandparents and grandchildren will put all the coins saved into a big bottle. When the bottle is full of coins, they are going to buy a sofa.

It turned out that their home was burnt to ashes in a big fire, and all the furniture was gone. They moved into a new empty apartment. On the day of moving, the neighbors brought pizza, ice cream and many things. The neighbor across the street moved a table and three chairs. The old gentleman next door brought a bed, which his children slept in when they were young ... Grandma said to everyone: Fortunately, we are still young and can start from scratch.

We only lack a comfortable sofa. My mother's feet are sore every time she comes home, and my grandmother can only sit in a hard chair when peeling potatoes. Finally, one day, we saved enough money, so we took the bus to four furniture stores, tried all the sofas, and finally found our dream sofa.

Now, during the daytime, grandma likes to sit on the sofa and chat with people passing by the window. Mom came back from work and sat on the sofa watching TV news. After dinner, I huddled beside my mother. If I fall asleep in her arms, she can turn off the lights as soon as she reaches out.

I like the colorful background of this book and the armchair covered with flowers. The colorful pictures are in sharp contrast with the disasters given by life. As grandma said, fortunately, we are still young and can start from scratch.

the relative game

by Cynthia Rylant.

illustration: Stephen Gammell.

reading age: 4~8 years old.

award time: 1986.

This is a story about a visit from a distant relative. Before the grapes can be picked, a group of people crowded into the rainbow car and bumped to their most missed relatives, blue sky and green grass, and the fiery sun accompanied them all the way.

The relatives warmly greeted each other. In the illustration, the door was half open and the luggage was scattered on the ground. From far to near, two chubby women can't wait to stretch out their hands and run to each other, even forgetting the purple shoes falling; A tall man picked up a "helpless" boy and reached out to pick up a girl in a polka-dot skirt; There are boys of the same age who fight and push each other, middle-aged men who shake hands and cherish ...

In the following time, this group of people live together. They have endless things to do and endless days to talk about, but no matter what they do, they all get together. Until the grapes are ripe, it is time for relatives to go back. They packed their bags, greeted the morning sun at four o'clock and went home along the way they came. They put their hands out of the window to say goodbye to their loved ones.

The static illustrations in the picture book make people feel a strong cheerful atmosphere, and the brisk painting style smells of summer. These people who are together love each other so passionately.

The Gardener

by Sarah Stewart.

illustration: David Small.

reading age: 4~12 years old.

award time: 1998.

In the picture at the beginning of the story, the girl and grandma walked briskly home with their food baskets, and the father who came back in the lower right corner was dejected and despondent, while the mother next to him frowned. It turned out that the girl's parents were unemployed, and the story began in this strong contrast.

The text of the story is all written by a girl. From the date of signing, this story happened in 1935, during the Great Depression in the United States. Most of the adults in the story are immersed in sadness, while the girls have firm eyes and yearn for city life with a pure enthusiasm.

When she came to a strange city alone, the girl excitedly told her family about the' New World' she had discovered-many empty flower beds and open spaces that could be used to grow flowers. Every day, she is busy learning to make bread by kneading dough, digging dirt, sprinkling seeds on waste baking pans and dishes and watering them. The gloomy and lifeless streets have become vibrant because of Xiao En's busyness and hard work. The rooftop full of sundries has become a colorful hanging garden, and my usually unsmiling uncle has also smiled.

With her positive attitude and hard work, the little girl brought warmth and light to the adults around her, just like the sunflower in her hand on the cover, bright and sunny, which is a bright yellow in the gloomy picture. In the face of fate, only upward vitality is worth believing in.
