Description:

The Day I Got Up Early

We might have a bias against pigs possessing a lazy nature. However, the early-bird „Petite Pearl“ in this illustrated book is a lovely porcine gal. She woke up before the dawn and the whole world was in crystal blue because of the sun’s absence. Petite Pearl can’t wait to go on the stage of today. This illustrated book teems with human dispositions and warmth. When Aunt Piggy and her family called it a day and returned home, we just came to the realization that there is a better reason to be an early bird as it was a normal yet extraordinary day.

Im am getting up very, very early this morning. My brother is still sleeping. Father is still sleeping. So is mother. And Grandma… Grandmai s already up! I got up very, very early, because I want to help Grandma. It is still dark outside, but many people are already at work. Many people are exercising in the park. Oh! Grandpa is over there, doing Qigong. ….


內容簡介

你有多久沒有早起了？
朦朧的天色、清新的空氣、
悅耳動聽的鳥囀、
逐漸甦醒的街道和人群……。
為了送給爺爺一個大驚喜，
小珍珠起了個大早，
也因此看見早晨裡充滿驚喜的風景……。
