Sergio Ruzzier"Io ero te e tu eri me"Ruth Krauss, Maurice SendakAdelphiwww.adelphi.itIn tutte le sue sfaccettature, la relazione più misteriosa e sconvolgente di cui fa esperienza un bambino: l'amicizia.Io ero te e tu eri me racconta la più misteriosa e sconvolgente relazione con i propri simili di cui fanno esperienza i bambini, nella realtà e nell'immaginazione: l'amicizia. Selvatica, vezzosa, simbiotica, ridondante, mimetica (con quella grazia un po' goffa del gioco) nei confronti dei cerimoniali previsti dai rapporti tra adulti, rude e romantica, spavalda e patetica, bizzarra e serissima – l'amicizia infantile esplorata in tutte le sue sfaccettature da un libro poetico e festoso.Testi di Ruth KraussIllustrazioni di Maurice SendakTraduzione di Sergio RuzzierRuth Krauss (1901-1993), nata a Baltimora, è una delle autrici per bambini più celebrate di tutti i tempi, vincitrice di due Caldecott Honor. Tra i primi a osservare e usare il linguaggio dei bambini, ha firmato moltissimi picture book con illustratori come Maurice Sendak, il marito Crockett Johnson (proprio da lei incoraggiato a dedicarsi al libro per bambini), Remy Charlip, Marc Simont e molti altri artisti, ed è autrice anche di poesie e opere teatrali in rima per adulti. I suoi libri, anche dopo tanti decenni, continuano a essere ristampati, e sono letti e adorati dai bambini di tutto il mondo. In Italia sono usciti per Topipittori Il seme di carota, illustrato da Crockett Johnson, e per Camelozampa Il giorno felice, illustrato da Marc Simont, e L'uovo felice, illustrato da Crockett Johnson.Maurice Sendak è stato uno scrittore e illustratore statunitense di origini polacche. Si appassionò fin da piccolo alla lettura a causa dei problemi di cuore che lo confinavano spesso a letto; prese la decisione di diventare un illustratore dopo aver visto il film Fantasia, all'età di dodici anni. Iniziò la sua carriera disegnando immagini per le vetrine del negozio di giocattoli F.A.O. Schwarz e creando illustrazioni di libri per l'infanzia. Alla fine degli anni Cinquanta iniziò a scrivere e a disegnare le proprie storie aggiudicandosi, nel 1970, il Premio Hans Christian Andersen e, nel 1982, il National Book Award. È noto soprattutto per l'opera Nel paese dei mostri selvaggi, albo illustrato per ragazzi pubblicato in Italia da Emme Edizioni nel 1968.Sergio RuzzierNato e cresciuto a Milano, a pochi passi dalla Chiesetta delle Lucertole, Sergio Ruzzier si è affermato negli Stati Uniti, a partire dalla fine degli anni Novanta del secolo scorso, come illustratore e narratore, collaborando con numerose testate, tra cui «The New Yorker», «The New York Times» e «Blab!».In seguito si è dedicato sempre più esclusivamente alla creazione di libri a figure, rivolti a lettori bambini ma non solo. Più recentemente si è cimentato con la traduzione di grandi autori americani quali Ruth Krauss, Maurice Sendak e James Marshall.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Na estante desta semana, vamos do excesso de informação a um compêndio de trica política, passando por um belo livro infantil e por uma reflexão sobre os 50 anos da Revolução. Neste caso, António Barreto reúne um conjunto de textos e intervenções no volume ‘Abril'. A respeito do mesmo período, o meio século de democracia, Liliana Valente e Filipe Santos Costa investigaram e reuniram episódios saborosos de pequena política (com um protagonista em destaque: Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa). O ensaísta francês Bruno Patino faz, num ensaio significativamente intitulado ‘Submersos', um diagnóstico preocupado da sobrecarga de estímulos e informação com que estamos confrontados na sociedade contemporânea. Por fim, para não nos acusarem de sermos (apenas) cínicos, fica a recomendação de um belo livro infantil com mais de meio século e pela primeira vez traduzido e editado em Portugal: ‘Harold e o Lápis Púrpura', de Crockett Johnson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I predicted that the film adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson would focus too much on adults at the expense of telling a story for children. It looks like I was right. And shockingly . . . I'm about to make the case that Deadpool and Wolverine is more of a … Continue reading "145 – Film Review: Harold and The Purple Crayon"

Racism is resilient, duplicitous, and endlessly adaptable, so it is no surprise that America is again in a period of civil rights activism. A significant reason racism endures is because it is structural: it's embedded in culture and in institutions. One of the places that racism hides-and thus perhaps the best place to oppose it-is books for young people. Was the Cat in the Hat Black?: The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books (Oxford UP, 2017) presents five serious critiques of the history and current state of children's literature tempestuous relationship with both implicit and explicit forms of racism. The book fearlessly examines topics both vivid-such as The Cat in the Hat's roots in blackface minstrelsy-and more opaque, like how the children's book industry can perpetuate structural racism via whitewashed covers even while making efforts to increase diversity. Rooted in research yet written with a lively, crackling touch, Nel delves into years of literary criticism and recent sociological data in order to show a better way forward. Though much of what is proposed here could be endlessly argued, the knowledge that what we learn in childhood imparts both subtle and explicit lessons about whose lives matter is not debatable. The text concludes with a short and stark proposal of actions everyone-reader, author, publisher, scholar, citizen- can take to fight the biases and prejudices that infect children's literature. While Was the Cat in the Hat Black? does not assume it has all the answers to such a deeply systemic problem, its audacity should stimulate discussion and activism. Philip Nel is University Distinguished Professor of English at Kansas State University. His many books include Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss: How an Unlikely Couple Found Love, Dodged the FBI, and Transformed Children's Literature (UP Mississippi, 2012), Tales for Little Rebels: A Collection of Radical Children's Literature (NYU Press, 2008, co-edited with Julia Mickenberg), The Annotated Cat: Under the Hats of Seuss and His Cats (Random House, 2007), and Dr. Seuss: American Icon (Continuum, 2004). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Though much of what is proposed here could be endlessly argued, the knowledge that what we learn in childhood imparts both subtle and explicit lessons about whose lives matter is not debatable. The text concludes with a short and stark proposal of actions everyone-reader, author, publisher, scholar, citizen- can take to fight the biases and prejudices that infect children's literature. While Was the Cat in the Hat Black? does not assume it has all the answers to such a deeply systemic problem, its audacity should stimulate discussion and activism.

Racism is resilient, duplicitous, and endlessly adaptable, so it is no surprise that America is again in a period of civil rights activism. A significant reason racism endures is because it is structural: it's embedded in culture and in institutions. One of the places that racism hides-and thus perhaps the best place to oppose it-is books for young people. Was the Cat in the Hat Black?: The Hidden Racism of Children's Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books (Oxford UP, 2017) presents five serious critiques of the history and current state of children's literature tempestuous relationship with both implicit and explicit forms of racism.

Considering the fact that (A) Groundhog Day is this week and yet (B) we have never done a Groundhog Day episode, that gave us the impetus to tackle a groundhogian classic. But which one? With all the choices we decided to pluck out this title by the guy who brought us Harold and the Purple Crayon. Like that book it indulges in a limited color palette and Johnson's characteristic drawing style. As such, prepare for long discussions on precisely what the Groundhog Day rule actually means, larger talks on the role of reality versus positivity in the real world, what makes a good holiday picture book, and why the moral of this story is, "Eat more bacon." Show Notes: Briefly alluded to in the episode, Philip Nel is our resident American scholar and specialist on all things Crockett Johnson. Check him out at his website here: https://philnel.com/ In the course of my research I became fascinated by the 100 mathematical paintings inspired by geometrical principles and mathematical equations by Crockett Johnson. You can see a bunch of them here: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object-groups/mathematical-paintings-of-crockett-johnson Do groundhogs hop? Dunno.

Bu hafta tam yedi kitaptan söz ediyoruz: Crockett Johnson'ın ünlü Harold serisinden "Yer Altı/Su Altı" üzerine konuşuyoruz.

Au programme de l'émission du 17 novembre 2021 : Dans son album documentaire Écrire, quelle histoire ! qui vient de paraître (illustré par Karine Maincent, éditions Kilowatt), Loïc Le Gall dresse pour les enfants un panorama passionnant de l'origine et de l'évolution des écritures dans le monde. On apprend plein de choses ! Et encore plus dans notre interview !. La nouveauté discographique - chronique de Véronique Soulé - c'est au début - Saute-la-Puce, de Thomas Fersen – livre CD illustré par Benoît Debecker, Margot, octobre 2021, 23  € Dans  ce conte musical qu'il a écrit, qu'il lit et chante, Thomas Fersen raconte l'histoire de l'origine de l'ukélélé. Sous sa plume, et même si tout est vrai, cette histoire suit des tours et des détours pittoresques et farfelus. On y apprend bien sûr pourquoi Saute-la-puce est le nom originel de l'ukélélé. Le ton débonnaire de Thomas Fersen, la chanson inédite et les extraits de quelques-unes de ses chansons réarrangés pour l'occasion ainsi que la musique de l'ukélélé, soprano ou baryton, rythment le récit. Dessinées à l'encre de Chine et colorées à l'aquarelle, les illustrations campent avec beaucoup d'humour et de facétie chacun des protagonistes. Livres – interview de Loïc Le Gall – c'est vers 08 mn Depuis les premiers signes dessinés sur les parois des grottes préhistoriques, dont on ne sait pas encore si ils avaient du sens, jusqu'aux émoticônes qui se bousculent sur nos écrans, les écritures n'ont cessé d'évoluer et de se transformer à travers le temps et le monde, que ce soit comme outil de connaissance, de moyen de domination ou au contraire de symbole de résistance. Dans son album documentaire, Écrire, quelle histoire ! (éditions Kilowatt), Loïc Le Gall parcourt les continents et l'histoire, dans un subtil équilibre entre approche chronologique et géographique, pour inviter les enfants à découvrir les différents aspects de l'écriture : son tracé et ses outils, ses alphabets, son lien avec la religion ou la politique, ses transformations pour répondre aux demandes des puissants... entre autres. Écrire, quelle histoire ! est un documentaire passionnant. On en discute avec son auteur Loïc Le Gall, qui est aussi auteur de livres d'art, graphiste, typographe, professeur de typographie et de calligraphie. Site de Loïc Le Gall – Site des éditions Kilowatt   Le mercredi c'est lecture !– chronique de Augustine et Othilie – c'est vers 53 mn Cette fois-ci, Augustine et Othilie ont présenté chacune un roman : -Cinder.

"Ursula Nordstrom (1910 - 1988) was publisher and editor-in-chief of juvenile books at Harper & Row from 1940 to 1973. She is credited with presiding over a transformation in children's literature in which morality tales written for adult approval gave way to works that instead appealed to children's imaginations and emotions." She authored the 1960 children's book The Secret Language, and a  collection of her correspondence, edited by Leonard Marcus, entitled Dear Genius: the Letters of Ursula Nordstrom was published in 1998.   Harper's received three Newbery Medals and two Caldecott Medals during Nordstom's tenure. She edited some of the milestones of children's literature, including E. B. White's Stuart Little (1945) and Charlotte's Web (1952), Margaret Wise Brown's Goodnight Moon (1947), Crockett Johnson's Harold and the Purple Crayon (1955), and Syd Hoff's Danny and the Dinosaur (1958). Other authors she edited included Laura Ingalls Wilder, Ruth Krauss, and Charlotte Zolotow.    I talk to Leonard Marcus here about everything Ursula.    Photo credit: Sonya Sones.

Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson - Read by Martyn Kenneth

Tula Jane, her Mother in the Wild, and some of their Playschool friends read "Harold and the Purple Crayon", by Crockett Johnson.

What can you create with just one crayon? This is a story about imagination and that sky is the limit for our young children. "One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight." So begins this gentle story that shows just how far your imagination can take you. Armed only with an oversized purple crayon, young Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement. Harold conducts his adventure with the utmost prudence, letting his imagination run free, but keeping his wits about him all the while. (summary from Goodreads) Join me as I read to you Harold's story and let's see where his moonlight adventure takes him.

First published in 1945, "The Carrot Seed" is a beloved story about growing a carrot... but more than that, it’s about how far patience and perseverance can get you.

When Kenneth Friedel started out he didn't really plan on becoming a certified master facilitator, one of only 35 in the world. His work has really been in strategic planning, succession planning, mergers, acquisitions and process improvement.   The concept for Purple Crayon Solutions comes from the beloved child's book by Crockett Johnson. In the story a boy creates his own path using his trusty purple crayon to draw exactly what he needs for his ideas and dreams to come true.  In our podcast with Kenneth we cover the basics of a concept of entrepreneurial resiliency.  This is simply put the idea that an entrepreneur has to have the skills to take care of him or herself, because often times there isn't someone standing in the wings ready to be part of a support system.  Listen and learn more about entrepreneurial resiliency.       

Betsy's question, walking into this podcast, was to figure out whether or not this book has anything to actually say to the 21st century child. Is it still pertinent or is it like some kind of archaic Kids Say the Darndest Things? Betsy and Kate talk about the historical view of American childhood and how it might have affected this book's popularity in certain decades. As you might expect, the book also causes them to get a little philosophical at times. "This is like Schrödinger's 's Cat. The hole both is and is not there when the digging takes place. Right. Okay. As long as we're clear. This is complex physics." Kate discovers that the absolute best way to read this book from 1952 is as a Beatnik. Oh, and I hope you like terrible terrible British accents, because we have lots and loads to give when quoting a discussion of The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Show Notes: The Ruth Krauss book coming out later this year is Roar Like a Dandelion, illustrated by Sergio Ruzzier. We would be amiss in not mentioning, once again, the invaluable Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss: How an Unlikely Couple Found Love, Dodged the FBI, and Transformed Children's Literature: http://www.upress.state.ms.us/books/1541 Here is a Kirkus Review A Hole Is to Dig that isn't really enamored of the text: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/ruth-krauss/a-hole-is-to-dig/ For the full Show Notes please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2019/06/17/fuse-8-n-kate-a-hole-is-to-dig-by-ruth-krauss-ill-maurice-sendak/

This week Betsy and Kate face down their greatest threat yet: Laptop snafus. This episode marks one of the rare instances where the laptop stopped recording the show right before the end of the podcast. Ah well. This particular week the duo takes on Crockett Johnson's best known work (sorry, Carrot Seed) and comes up with everything from arboreal semantics to Ursula Nordstrom as a hard knocks dame to . . . well . . . Genesis. Show Notes: - What truly was Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings? Behold!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyrDS1UvCG8 - Here is what we do believe is the earliest Harold short created. It. Is. Charming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKhKyZgafU4 - And here is the HBO television show. You will note that everything Harold draws can move. This aligns the new Harold closer to Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings more than anything else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mq4KbIkqpQ - Here's the Glam Rock Opera version. Very catchy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYc-k6MjS-M - Here is where the book showed up on the Top 100 Picture Books Poll: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2012/06/14/top-100-childrens-novels-16-harold-and-the-purple-crayon-by-crockett-johnson/" target="_blank - For the complete Show Notes please visit the following: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2018/03/19/fuse-8-n-kate-harold-and-the-purple-crayon-by-p-d-eastman/

Earlier this month the nominees for the 2017 Eisner Awards were announced at the Comic-Con International website, and as Andy and Derek like to do every year, they're devoting a full episode of The Comics Alternative to a discussion of the nominations. On this week's show, the Two Guys give their impressions of the various nominees, both as a whole and on a category-by-category basis, making observations and trying to understand any trends underlying this year's selections. However, Derek and Andy resist the urge to play armchair quarterbacks, so they don't second-guess the six-member panel of judges or focus on what they would have chosen if they had been on the selection committee. As diligent comics scholars, they judicial and discerning in their commentary. At the same time, they don't shy away from pointing out a few inconsistencies and a few head-scratchers when trying to make sense of this year's nominations. You can find a complete list of the 2017 Eisner Award nominees below.
