What I Like Most

In a lyrical story by Mary Murphy, gorgeously illustrated by award-winning artist Zhu Cheng-Liang, a child offers an ode to her favorite things -- and people.

What I like most in the world is my window. This morning, through my window, I see the postman at the red gate. . . .

A little girl observes, one by one, the things that give her pleasure -- the apricot jam on her toast, the light-up shoes that make her feet bounce, the sparkling river, the pencil whose color comes out like a ribbon. But even after the jar becomes empty, and the shoes grow too small, and the pencil is all used up, one thing will never change. In a tenderly imagined story, Mary Murphy celebrates the intimacy of the bond between mother and child, while Zhu Cheng-Liang's wonderfully inviting artwork brings the day-to-day details to life.

Intr-o poveste lirica de Mary Murphy, ilustrata superb de artistul premiat Zhu Cheng-Liang, un copil ofera o odaie lucrurilor si oamenilor ei preferati. Ceea ce imi place cel mai mult in lume este fereastra mea. In aceasta dimineata, prin fereastra mea, il vad pe postasul de la poarta rosie.
