"That little bit of cloud may be the first smoke of a nascent volcano." The scratches on those bark could be a cryptic code. That discarded rock may have been, or may one day be, the cornerstone of a great kingdom. ”
Everything has a story, and for American children's book author Zach Roque, picture books are a great way to explore life's big questions. When he wrote his idea into his book, he became a very good storyteller, and then there was a stunning children's book like "Story Museum".
In this book, the story follows the mental transformation of a melancholy bulldog, Homer Henry Hudson, showing the reader a poetic and distant adventure. As the curator of the Museum of Curiosities, Homer Henry Hudson's daily need is simple: to keep the museum clean and tidy.
However, the strange collections in the Rare Museum have a unique flavor in themselves. For example, a Byzantine bedpan used in the sixth century, a stumbling bone of a hanging dragon head, a fragment of an ornate stone head from South America, and so on. Each piece of the collection is marked with a number, name, place of acquisition, and a description of the private note.
At this time, the process of understanding the collection is like cracking the code of life. The places you've been, the people you've met, and the stories that have happened are also becoming clearer.
Accompanied by wonderful text stories, the book's retro-inspired artistic illustration scenes make people feel as if they are in a wonderful fantasy world.
Interestingly, in these illustrated scenes, there are also many secret little Easter eggs hidden. If it were not for the "aggressive and strange newspaper" that accompanied the book, some details would be difficult to notice. Through this ingenious newspaper, readers can know:
Homer Henry Hudson went into the restaurant with whom the writers learned eight reasons why the father of existentialism, Sauron Kierkegaard, did not travel, or entered the Kafka Metamorphosis Center to give the soul a shell.
With the people coming and going in the museum, Homer Henry Hudson wasn't alone. Occasionally, I'll stay still and make a cameo appearance in the museum collection. More than that, however, it thinks of its own death. Yes, Homer Henry Hudson longed for something to be left behind.
When he saw the dusty suitcase, Homer Henry Hudson set off again and embarked on an adventure of his own. Even if you know that the road ahead is long and you may encounter sudden disasters, as long as life continues, the story will never end.
On the surface, The Story Museum is a fantasy picture book for children. However, even if it is read by adults, it will still be deeply touched. Sure enough, good children's books can always bring people a lot of inspiration, and in this positive guidance, we will also grow up with children.
