如果是你,会想要买这本书给你自己或身边的孩子吗?
2019 年,现居纽约的美国插画与平面设计作家 M.L. Webb,出版了他的第一本绘本《The GayBCs》。书中四位好朋友们彼此玩乐、欢笑、变装,是一本充满想像力、童趣和彩虹的故事。
作者像是在安排给学习英文的读者,从 A 到 Z,逐一造词造句,并将每一个字母配上彩色插图和剧情。但有别于我们习以为常的 A is Apple、B is Boy、C is Cat,《The GayBCs》里头改用 A is for Ally(同盟者,经常被用于支持酷儿族群,但自我认同非同志的群体)、B is for Bi(指双性恋,书中更说明 Bi 这个字是代表你可以大声的说出「我爱男生也爱女生,而且我觉得这样很棒」)、C is for Coming Out(指出柜)、D is for Drag(指变装)、G is for Gay(指喜欢的对象是与你同性别的人)。
网路上可以找到一些读者拍摄正在阅读的画面,还有让小朋友练习生字的情境。以下为大家整理,让我们一起用《The GayBCs》的角度来练习英文字母 A 到 Z:
