等待

Five little people were waiting. The spotted owl was waiting for the moon, the umbrella-wielding pig was waiting for the rain, and the dog on the sled was waiting for the snow. When the snowflakes finally fell from the sky, the little dog was overjoyed. He had waited for so long, while the little rabbit had just been looking out the window all along. Sometimes, people will leave. There are also guests who come from afar, stay for a while and then leave. Will they be able to wait for what they are waiting for? "Kevin's Blanket," a picture book for children and adults alike, is a brand new work by Kevin Henkes, the winner of the 2016 American Caldecott Medal Silver Award!

Mysterious, fascinating, and unparalleled. -American Publisher's Weekly

Quiet and thought-provoking, with a texture that blends art, design and language. -American Booklist Magazine

The characters are satisfied with the act of "waiting," which seems to have a great power of infection. Waiting is a lesson that every child must learn in the initial stage of life. With a gentle touch, Henkes has wonderfully explored this theme. -Boston Globe's Horn Book

"Waiting" further proves that Kevin Henkes is an illustrator and a master of picture books, rivaling legendary figures such as Margaret Wise Brown and Ruth Krauss.
