Synopsis

Book by Barbara Collopy OHalloran

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The bonds that are forged between people and their childhood security objects are often emotional and enduring, as this unique photoessay clearly demonstrates... Udesen’s highly expressive photographs are richly varied in terms of lighting, contrast, and composition." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A sweet humanity and, well, comfort comes across in the striking black-and-white photos that accompany the comments. The text is generally spare and warm, conveying fragile vulnerability and common need. Children and adults alike will enjoy perusing this kindly and candid book." School Library Journal

Présentation de l'éditeur

Almost everyone has a favorite doll, an aging teddy, or an unraveling blankie—either safely put away in a drawer or still lovingly tucked into bed at night. Adults and children alike treasure these creature comforts because they offer security, lifelong friendship, and the smell of home.
Through striking black-and-white photographs and first-person accounts, Barbara Collopy O’Halloran and Betty Udesen tenderly document and reveal just some of the extraordinary magic found beneath the worn exteriors of a misshapen sweater, a winking dog, and even an earless rabbit named “Chickey.”
