Description

I believe Jemmy Button and his people were kidnapped and I would have preferred that to be depicted in the book. When he goes back to his land and back to his people, he immediately sheds what he was wearing and goes back to his life on the island completely unchanged from everything that he has seen in the land that is not his own. The contexts of O'run-del'lico (aka Jemmy Button)'s story as told through Uman and Vadali's picture book feel wrong to me. What happened to the real Orundellico (aka Jemmy Button) had to have been a traumatic event, one I'm sure that must have left life-long scars.

While the illustrations continuously cast the British as faceless silhouettes (a powerful choice) and draw attention to O'run-del'lico in color and detail, the story resonates the colonizers' point of view, erasing whatever feelings, responses, or experiences O'run-del'lico may have been having.I read this book to Gabby as last in a series of books we read that night, and by the time we got to this one, she was more interested in making up her own stories than listening to this one. I spotted this at the library and thought it would make for a fun pairing with another book I’m reading, This Thing of Darkness, a chunky novel about Captain Robert FitzRoy’s expeditions to Tierra del Fuego (on one of which he was accompanied by Charles Darwin on the Beagle). Transported to Victorian England to be transformed from a wild child into an English gentleman, he was educated and introduced to middle-class manners.

But if used well, it could be a powerful catalyst for deep conversation and critical thinking about history, morality, and power. Jacques The Egg The Forest The Great Subway Map The Little Barbarian The Moon Keeper The Penguin Who Was Cold The Stone Age The Truth About my Unbelievable School The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer The World Belongs to You The Worried Whippet The Unforgettable Party The Very Hungry Plant Thingamabob Toute Une Vie Pour Apprendre Veggies! The real Orundellico was taken from his people as a young boy and sent to England to be educated in Christianity and Victorian customs. I can see why contrasting illustration styles were chosen, but I would have preferred more representativeness. Soon, he’s wearing their clothes, attending concerts, and even meeting the king and queen, but he never quite feels at home.The text presents evidence that his adoptive family doted on and gave him all manner of things to ensure their care. There is minimal text in this book, which relies on detailed, thoughtful images to convey the story. This may be a book that children are able to relate to particularly if they are new or have moved to a new area of for EAL children who are living in a different culture or experiencing different customs for the first time.

But other than the author mentioning that the boy missed the boughs of the trees and the night sky on his island home, the reader is never told about the difficulties that he must have faced in trying to assimilate into white society.In the new land Jemmy found people in unusual clothes, buildings taller than trees, and he learned their ways. tapi meskipun sudah dididik untuk jadi bagian mereka tp si anak ngerasa ttp not quite, ia ttp ngerasa ini bukanlah rumahnya.

I loved the illustrations in this book; my 2yo did, took and had fun pointing out Jemmy on each page.Gouache, oil paintings, and collage illustrations present two extremely different worlds and the boy who travels between them.
