Product Information

students may be able to relate to leaving "home" and having to try and make themselves feel at home somewhere else. I connect the sale of humans with slavery and human trafficking, yet there is no indication from the text that anyone should be considering questions of morality in relation to O'run-del'lico's experience. This text would need quite a bit of mediation and background information if used with younger children.

Soon, he’s wearing their clothes, attending concerts, and even meeting the king and queen, but he never quite feels at home. But I was uncomfortable with the way in which the book glossed over the larger implications of colonialism and the ways that western exploration affected the societies that it touched and exploited. The people who took him back to their land introduced him to so many new things and changed his style and his life in so many ways. Orundellico/Jemmy was one of four Fuegian natives taken by ship to England, and he wasn’t a boy, as depicted here, but a teenager of 15 to 16.tapi meskipun sudah dididik untuk jadi bagian mereka tp si anak ngerasa ttp not quite, ia ttp ngerasa ini bukanlah rumahnya. 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.

I think the way the Europeans were depicted as dark shadowy figures, shows how scary they may have been to these people. I loved the illustrations in this book; my 2yo did, took and had fun pointing out Jemmy on each page. 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. Collaborating across continents, without a common language, Valerio's precision and Jennifer's primitive style have resulted in a story unlike any other.

Despite initial appearances, this is a very complex picture book which introduces issues way beyond its apparent simplicity. Sampai pada akhirnya kerinduan yang memuncak ia memutuskan untuk kembali ketanah kelahirannya, dan menanggalkan semua ornamen "kebaratannya" dan juga kembali kemana seharusnya ia berada. There's a lot of emotion at work in the art from the faceless Victorians who appear as silhouettes to the lush island full of life.

Stunning and brilliant illustrations, hands down but as I was perusing the visual work it hit me how sad and tragic the story actually is, and that's something the text alone couldn't quite capture -props to the two illustrators, Uman and Vidali.
