Love is a mutual achievement. Remember to take good care of your flowers whenever possible.

At first, I was attracted by the painting style of this book. It is fresh and beautiful, with a faint gouache texture. The title "Take care of my flowers" is very attractive. Love my flowers, so where did I go? Who will take care of my flowers again? What is the relationship between two people?

After reading the picture book, I was moved by this beautiful story. The story tells the love story of giant Moya and girl Roland.

Moya the giant lives in a big castle. Before retiring, the old housekeeper decided to find a new housekeeper, so the girl Roland entered Moya's life.

Roland is petite, but she works very hard. She takes care of the giant's life and keeps the house in good order. In their spare time, giants will play the piano or read stories to Roland. As time goes by, their feelings are getting closer and closer.

Roland wanted to make the house more lively, so he planted many flowers. Under her careful care, the room is full of vitality.

One day, the giant Moya said that he was going out of the city, and the return date was undecided, leaving Roland alone. Roland missed Moya very much, but he didn't want to indulge in it, so he began to read Moya's books. She is short, starting with the books on the bottom shelf, looking at the first floor and then at the upper floor. When reading the top book, Roland found himself standing up without a ladder.

It turns out that Roland is as tall as Moya, and now she can see a bigger world, so she left a note for Moya to take good care of her flowers and then carry her luggage to explore a wider world.

One day, it rained cats and dogs. The giant Moya came back and saw Roland's note. She was sad and frustrated. The giant hired several housekeepers behind him, but they always found fault with each other. The new housekeeper came and went. Moya has become an explosive barrel, which will explode at any moment, so no one wants to come. Moya lives a lonely life. One day he got up and got out of bed, but he was surprised to find himself getting smaller. He experienced the hardships before Roland.

Moya misses Roland madly and decides to take good care of these withered flowers. He planted flowers in the yard, built a garden maze and invited nearby children to play. Beautiful flowers, happy children, let his heart gradually enrich.

One day, while tidying up the garden, Moya got up inadvertently and found herself as tall as before. More surprisingly, Roland came back from a distance. She is as tall as Moya. The two embraced excitedly and finally lived happily together.

The flowers that love me were written by Hao Guangcai. He is good at telling stories to explain important topics in life. Although the story of Moya and Roland is simple, it is rich in connotation and fascinating. This is the charm of a good picture book.

Giants Moya and Roland, the pair of CP, are reminiscent of beauty and the beast. There are many similarities between the two stories:

First of all, they are all unusual combinations. In Love My Flowers, there are giants and mortals, and in fairy tales, there are beauties and beasts.

Secondly, it seems impossible for two people to have love, but they have subtle reactions in daily life.

Thirdly, both groups of CP like reading books, and books are the bridge between them. In Cherish My Flowers, the giant Moya likes reading, and Roland achieves spiritual equality with Moya through reading. In Beauty and the Beast, the Beast has a rich collection of books. Princess Bell learned about the inner nature of wild animals by reading his books.

Finally, the protagonists of the two stories live in castles, isolated from the world and lead a dull and lonely life. The arrival of the heroine broke this dreariness and added color to their lives.

The setting of the height changes of Moya and Roland in the story is also very interesting.

Roland was not tall, but after reading all the books on Moya's bookshelf, he suddenly became a giant. Does this mean that reading more books can increase your knowledge and make you an ideological giant?

There is a picture that properly illustrates this truth. There are three people looking at the scenery side by side:

People standing on the ground see the blue sky and white clouds outside, singing birds and flowers.

People standing on the steps piled with books saw dark clouds rolling and darkness hanging over them.

People standing on the ladder with higher books see the rising sun and colorful weather.

Reading can let you go beyond the darkness and see a higher level of scenery and a wider world.

In the picture book, Roland is taller, and Moya's figure has gone through the process from high to low, and then from low to high.

After Roland left, Moya's temper became so bad that she found fault with the later housekeepers that they all resigned. He had to live alone, and one day he got up and suddenly found himself smaller.

Why do giants get smaller? I think it can be interpreted from several angles:

1, love makes people small. Didn't Zhang Ailing say that love makes people humble to the dust?

2. The giant Moya has a bad temper, does not know how to respect and understand others, and is insignificant in the spiritual level.

3. The author Hao Guangcai arranged this so that Moya can experience Roland's life, so that he can deeply * * *.

Later, the giant took good care of Roland's flowers, planted flowers in the yard, built a garden maze, and invited nearby children to play. He opened his heart, lived seriously, worked hard and treated people around him well, and finally became a giant again. -This is actually a process for giants to find themselves.

This seemingly simple picture book actually reveals the true meaning of love.

When the giant and Roland got along just right, the giant suddenly asked to go out without explaining the reason and the date of return. This painting is handled creatively. On the screen, the eyes are full of falling dead leaves, which not only shows the season of Moya's departure, but also implies the ruthlessness of Moya's autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. -Isn't it? The two were very close, and the result was to leave the city, but they were secretive and didn't say anything. They feel that they have hidden a lot of things and don't fully trust Roland.

Later, Roland wanted to explore a bigger world and left by himself. When the giant Moya came back in the storm, he couldn't wait for Roland to pass the towel hot water. When he was driven crazy, it made me feel very happy and had the feeling of pulling back a game. Love is sometimes a game.

A good relationship will make both of them grow up. The giant played the piano and studied for Roland, which aroused his thirst for knowledge. After the giant left, Roland did not indulge in personal feelings, but knew how to study and improve himself. This is Roland's growth.

Roland took good care of the giant's life and planted many flowers in the yard, which brought vitality to the giant's life. After Roland left, the giant learned to open his heart, accept and respect others and live seriously. This is the growth of giants.

Finally, both of them met their better selves and finally met again in the spring.

This fully shows that good feelings should complement each other. Only by constantly improving themselves can we stand side by side with each other and gain love and respect.

Picture books describe stories in the form of illustrations, and pictures are as important as words. The painter of Love My Flowers is Italian illustrator Jean Luca. He is imaginative and bold. He is not only proficient in painting, but also good at sculpture, photography and modern drama. Take Good Care of My Flowers is a beautiful painting with gouache texture and gentle breath, which makes people feel very healed.

Probably because Jean Luca is good at photography, the composition of illustrations is very particular, and the composition in picture books is mostly triangular, regular and stable.

The picture composition of the reunion between the giant and Roland is quite ingenious. They meet in spring, trees sprout, birds sing flowers and birds spread their wings around them. The whole painting is round, which means perfection, reunion and reunion. In addition, the scenery of birds and flowers is in sharp contrast with the autumn wind when Moya left.

Jean Luca also likes to use repeated geometric figures, for example, the checkered floor of the Giant's House, decorated red flowers, neat bookshelves and desks, divided hills, and so on.

In addition, Jean Luca is also good at exerting his imagination, expressing disorderly and infinite space, and bringing people a unique and poetic optical illusion experience. There are several such performances in the picture book, such as:

When Roland was cleaning, the rag in his hand reached into the tablecloth for Moya to eat.

When the giant left, Roland was lying on the bed in tears, and the hair band on the braid extended outward and became a path, intertwined with the road the giant had taken.

Roland misses Moya in winter. Her long hair is flying, and a lock of hair is floating away, becoming a continuous snow scene.

……

In picture books, pictures contain a lot of information, even more than words. There are several overlapping figures and shadows in the book, which are worth pondering.

When Roland was cleaning with a rag at home, her shadow turned into Moya eating. It can be seen that the two are closely related, inseparable and interdependent in life.

When Moya gets smaller, it becomes difficult to open the door. In the picture, Moya is trying to reach the doorknob, but the shadow projected next to it is Roland who opens the door. This is actually of great significance, implying several contrasts:

Comparison between reality and reality: Moya opened the door for real, but Roland's shadow was empty.

Size contrast: the giant becomes smaller, and from Roland's point of view, we can better understand Roland's efforts.

At the same time, it also shows Moya's loss and yearning for Roland.

Moya quietly looked at the withered flowers, while Roland watered the flowers on the wall, which showed that Moya missed Roland more. In addition, this painting shows what happened in the same space at different times, and it has the feeling of lovers in parallel time and space, which reminds people of the movie "unreachable lovers".

There are also two pictures that are particularly beautiful.

When Roland is planting flowers in the yard, the picture shows Roland standing in the middle of the yard. Her skirt overlaps with the circular garden. There are flowers in the yard, and Roland is in the middle of the garden. Does this mean that Roland is actually a flower, the most beautiful and energetic flower?

There is another place in the book that has the same meaning. When Roland decided to leave the giant's home, the giant's vase overlapped with the slightly opened door, and Roland stood at the door, right in the middle of the vase, which was actually a hint-Roland was the flower in the giant's heart, precious and beautiful.

Moya came back from heavy rain to see Roland's letter, and the picture was also very clever. Moya's stationery turned into a path, and through his heart, Roland was leaving along this path with his luggage. On the table behind the giant, the flowers in the vase have withered. The originality of this picture is reflected in three aspects:

1. Luo's "I'm leaving" is expressed in the form of a picture, which is perfectly integrated with the whole picture.

2. The writing paper became a path, passing through Moya's heart, suggesting that although Roland left, he entered Moya's heart.

The withered flowers on the table are not only realistic, but also related to the content of the letter. "Take good care of my flowers" is a portrayal of the giant's mood.

There are too many such pictures, and every time you look at them, you will find something new. The painter's thoughtful mind is worth pondering.

"If you are a stone, you should be a magnet.

If you are a plant, you should be a rose.

If you are human, you should be a lover. "

Beautiful love is mutual achievement. Whenever and no matter what, please remember to take care of your flowers.
