Originally published in Chinese as 好像 ("hao xiang," which translates as "it seems"), As If...As If... is a beautiful book, one that was inspired, according to author Wenjun Qin's afterword, by a walk through New York City's Central Park, during a family stay in that city. The text is gentle and dreamy, effectively communicating the mood and feeling of a wet world after rainfall, while the illustrations, done by Xun Liu in oil paint (I believe), are soft and likewise dreamy, capturing the enchantment and beauty of the natural world. I haven't read too many picture-books translated from Chinese, so I'm happy that the Australian publisher of this one, Starfish Bay Publishing, based in Adelaide, has made Wenjun Qin's book available to the English-language market. There were one or two minor textual hiccups (verb/subject agreement, and the like) that I noticed, but overall I enjoyed this translation. I will definitely be looking for more from both this author and this illustrator. Recommended to anyone looking for picture-books translated from the Chinese, as well as those searching for children's stories about the beauty of nature, and the power of imagination to connect us to nature.… (altro)
