清靜蓮花

夕陽連雨足,空翠落庭陰。 看取蓮花淨,方知不染心。

Under My Skin

    在我的印象裏,寫書是很難的事。可能是因為畢竟大多數人既沒什麽機會寫書,更沒什麽機會出版自己寫的書,所以,老師從來不教。像我這樣的人,雖然受了十幾年的教育,竟不知道一本書應該怎麽寫。
    而在西方教育體製下長大的孩子卻絕然不同,他們非常會表達自己的思想,學校教育也很重視培養和開發學生的思維能力。比如說,老師從一年級開始就教他們寫書並將給別人聽,所以等他們長大了,絕不會認為寫書、演講是什麽難事兒。
    Under My Skin 是女兒剛為 7 歲的小學生寫的有關反對種族歧視的一本圖畫書,也是她的一項學校作業,自己編故事,然後畫插圖,花了不少時間。她看著自己忙碌之後取得的成績,興奮得不得了。
    能力都是鍛煉出來的,看著她一天天進步,我從心裏為她感到高興 。非常感謝老師付出的辛勤勞動啊!

Under My Skin

Book Cover


In a far far away small peaceful red barn, there lived families of happy animals.


Among those families, there is a daddy sheep, Kevin and his son Scott. There’s a yellow girl chick, Cindy, living with he mommy hen. Finally there’s the young black goat called Mohammed.



Scott, Mohammed and Cindy are best friend.




One day, Mohammed went up to the Scott’s grassland, but Kevin saw Mohammed.



Kevin was very angry. He yelled “ Only white animals can eat there. Black goats make the grass die. Get off this land! ”



Mohammed didn’t understand why his friend’s daddy was being mean. He started to cry.



Cindy was walking across the grassland. She saw Mohammed crying near the river.



Cindy asked, “What’s wrong? Who made you cry?”


Mohammed looked up. “Scott’s daddy said that I’ll make grass die if I eat it.”


Cindy was surprised. “He was just being mean. Let’s go talk to them about this.”



Cindy and Mohammed went back to the sheep’s grassland. Scott and Kevin were eating grass.



Kevin yelled “Baa…baa…baa…why are you here? I told you to leave.”



Cindy got upset. She said “We are all barn animals and equal. We shouldn’t judge others because of their outside colour. It’s inside that matters. ”



Scott looked at his daddy and said “Baa…baa…baa…I can’t believe you said that to my friend daddy! That was stereotyping! ”



Kevin was very confused. “What’s stereotyping?”
“It’s when someone gets a set image of something not caring that every animal is different.”


Kevin felt very bad. He lowered his head and said, “Sorry, but that was just the image I got. How about you come over for dinner tonight?”
“Sure.” Said Mohammed, and everyone smiled once again.
