Original title : The Planet We Call HomeMy hands sing the blues: Romare Bearden's childhood journey
By Jeanne Walker Harvey. 2011
As a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great-grandmother's Cherokee stories and heard the…
whistle of the train that took his people to the North people who wanted to be free. When Romare and his family, faced with Jim Crow laws, boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By. Using that painting as inspiration and creating a text influenced by the blues and jazz that Bearden loved, Jeanne Walker Harvey tells the story of Bearden's children by describing the patchwork of daily southern life that Romare saw out the train's window and the story of his arrival in shimmering New York City. Artists and critics today praise Bearden's collages for their visual metaphors honoring his past, African American culture, and the human experience. 2011.

By Samuel Larochelle. 2022
Note de production : Cet ouvrage a été créé dans le cadre du Projet de description d’images littéraires d’eBOUND. L’auteur…
et l’illustrateur ont rédigé ou contribué aux descriptions des images, qui sont incluses dans le corps et la narration du texte. Florent, un garçon de dix ans, surprend une conversation entre ses mamans : devant l'état de la planète, elles se demandent si elles veulent avoir un deuxième enfant. À travers une série de mots impossibles à comprendre, il retient l’hésitation dans leurs voix, la peur dans leurs yeux, la main que l’une pose sur le ventre de l’autre, comme quand il n’arrive plus à s’endormir. Florent comprend qu’il y a trop d’humains sur Terre, qu’il ne faut plus faire d’enfants, qu’il aurait fallu arrêter bien avant et que lui-même est de trop. Ses mamans entendront-elles son cri silencieux?
