这是一个关于爱的故事。一份深沉、持久、永无止境的爱。是父母在喃喃细语,告诉孩子他们有多爱他。也可以是任何人在倾心低语,对心爱之人表达他们的爱。故事里只有一个孩子。他(或她)骑在犀牛的背上淌过小河、他和大象在海边玩耍、他骑在长颈鹿的脖子上摘果子、他和兔子捉迷藏、他和黑熊跳舞……可是没人知道他叫什么名字,是男孩还是女孩,家住在哪里。他可以是任何人,任何一个孩子。无论他走到哪里,无论在他干什么,一个温柔的声音不停地告诉他,他被人深深爱着、深深牵挂着。
诗意的文字像一阵和煦的春风吹进孩子的心里——
如果有一天你感到孤单,
如果有一天你觉得伤心,
如果有一天你遇上挫折,
或者你感觉自己很差劲……
轻轻抬起头吧,
让微风轻拂你的头发。
我就是微风,我的宝贝,
我的爱就在微风里。

ls-than the Disney Golden Books.The history of these books began in 1933, when the president of Whitman Publishing wrote a letter to Walt Disney. Whitman had already published compilations of the "Dick Tracy" and "Little Orphan Annie" comic strips, and these Big Little Books had met with great success. The publisher proposed a similar collection of the "Mickey Mouse" comic strips, and offered a royalty of one-half percent per book. Walt agreed, and a new era in Disney publishing commenced.A remarkable lineup of talent, many of whom were Disney Studio artists - including Mary Blair, Alice and Martin Provensen, Gustaf Tenggren, Al Dempster, Retta Scott Worcester, and Bill Peet -created the illustrations for the early Disney Golden Books. The bold and incredibly detailed artwork was painstakingly executed in gouache and watercolour - media that required a steady hand and immense patience and precision. The resulting publications became favourite selections in the libraries of many children, among them, future generations of Disney and Pixar artists who were inspired to draw, dream, and later, create their own films and Golden Books.The Art of the Disney Golden Books celebrates a legacy that has now thrived for more than eighty years and continues to influence new generations of artists and filmmakers. Through interviews with contemporary animators who recall tracing the characters in their childhood Disney Golden Books, paintings by artists who influenced and inspired the Disney Golden Book illustrations, and a generous complement of Golden Book artwork - much of which was thought to have been lost until very recently - the rich tradition of the series is explored in this vibrant volume.From Peter Pan and Cinderella to Toy Story and Tangled, the Disney Golden Books are displayed in all their glory, evoking a poignant sense of wonder and nostalgia. For as long as parents and children partake in the ritual of reading together at bedtime, the Disney Golden Books will continue to be published, enjoyed, and treasured.
