作品介绍
- ABOUT THE BOOK -
《常与小熊》
Saving Sorya: Chang and the Sun Bear
图像小说《常与小熊》根据作者阮庄的真实经历创作而成，讲述了一个充满勇气与毅力的小女孩敢于突破偏见，追逐梦想并投身野生动物保护事业的故事。
This middle grade graphic novel adventure is based on a true story, about a young conservationist who overcomes the odds to save and return a sun bear to its natural habitat.
小女孩常在儿时偶然目睹了一头黑熊遭到人类残忍虐待的经过，小小的心灵受到了极大的触动。她立志要成为一名野生动物保护工作者。多年以后，已成为动物救护中心志愿者的常与那头黑熊再次相遇。此时的黑熊已垂垂老矣。长期遭受囚禁的它已无法再放归野外，这让常非常痛心。然而，一只马来熊宝宝的到来又让常重新燃起希望……
When endlessly curious and tenacious Chang discovers a bear bile farm near her home in Vietnam, she decides to do everything she can to save wild animals—by becoming a conservationist! After teaching herself survival skills, documenting each rainforest plant and animal she sees in her field notebook, and disproving the critics who think she isn’t old enough or strong enough, Chang is finally accepted as a rescue center volunteer. But her toughest challenge yet comes when she’s tasked with returning Sorya—the sun bear she raised from infancy—back into the wild. Because despite being a different species, Sorya is Chang’s best friend. And letting a friend go is never easy . . . even when it’s the right thing to do.
本书以细腻唯美的笔触描画出热带丛林生机盎然的景致，真实地展示了野生动物们的种种生存困境，展现了不同物种在整个生态系统中扮演的重要角色，以及这些自然的生灵强大的生命韧性。书中所呈现的人与动物间令人潸然泪下的情谊，为守护珍稀生命所付出的艰苦的努力，感动和激励着每一个人。
This book depicts the vibrant scenery of tropical jungle with delicate and beautiful brushstrokes, and shows the survival dilemmas of wild animals, the important roles played by different species in the whole ecosystem, and the strong life resilience of these natural creatures. The tearful friendship between people and animals in the book and the hard work to protect rare lives touched and inspired everyone.
