摘要
摘要
Born around 1900, young Opal was only five years old when she began to keep her diary. She had barely learned how to print, but was already expressing her thoughts. Uprooted more than 19 times as her adopted family moved from one lumber camp to another, this is the story of one year of her life. Full color.

Gr 1-4-Boulton has successfully adapted this picture book from her longer work, Opal (Tioga, 1984). Opal Whitely, born around 1900, was orphaned and brought up by foster parents in Oregon. These selections from the diary she kept ``in her fifth and sixth year'' bring to life an extraordinary child and evoke images of a frontier life style that will fascinate young readers. It is astonishing that this child, facing the hardships of living with a cruel and demanding stepfamily, as well as the trauma of moving to 19 different lumber camps during her girlhood, could find the time and courage to record her thoughts, feelings, and impressions in such a lyrical style. Her optimism, sense of humor, and heartfelt love and respect for living things shine through her spare prose and sometimes awkward phrasing. Cooney's muted watercolors expand the imagery created by the simple text, realistically portraying living conditions and conveying the majestic beauty of the Northwest. Readers will respond positively to this glimpse of history and will share Opal's sense of wonder and gratitude for things that are often taken for granted. Not simply an adaptation of an unusual diary, this book is a tribute to the resiliency of the human spirit.-Martha Rosen, Edgewood School, Scarsdale, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Boulton based this unusual book on her longer work, an adaptation of the diary kept by Opal Whiteley during her fifth and sixth years. Orphaned at five, Opal was taken in by an Oregon family who gave her shelter but little else. Transcribed into a lyrical text with luminous watercolors, the account captures the life of a turn-of-the-century child who, despite the odds, remains true to herself and the memories of her 'Angel Mother and Angel Father.'

Kirkus评论
Born about 1900, Opal Whiteley was five when she was sent to live with an Oregon loggers' family after her parents ``went to Heaven.'' She kept a diary ``of my fifth and sixth year,'' during which she stayed home from school to do laundry for ``the mama where I live,'' who found her a ``nuisance'' and frequently struck her; made pets of a crow (``Lars Porsena''), a mouse (``Felix Mendelssohn''), and several other animals; confided in a ``grand'' tree (``...Michael Raphael...He has an understanding soul'') and mourned when it was felled; visited a girl with ``no seeing,'' who enjoyed the flowers she brought; and wondered whether ``Kind God'' might allow her parents to be her ``Guardian Angels.'' Boulton, a poet who (according to the jacket) is the ``author'' of ``a full adaptation of Opal's diary,'' is cited by LC as author of this book, but according to the publisher these quaint, naive, wonderfully telling words are Opal's own, selected from the complete diary as it has survived. A note explains that the original was torn into ``a million pieces'' by a stepsister, then pieced together and published in the 20's--a tantalizing glimpse of Opal's subsequent life, otherwise unrevealed here. Cooney's illustrations are perfect--delicate and beautifully observed, her misty landscapes make an elegant setting for a thoughtful, sturdy child, finding her gentle but indomitable way among strangers who have no conception of her true quality. A touching, fascinating portrait. (Autobiography/Picture book. 4+)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 6-9. The inner life of children, long ignored in accounts of pioneer history, is here given an unforgettable voice. Opal was five years old when her parents died, and she went to live with a foster family in a lumber camp in Oregon at the turn of the century. She was just learning to print, and she wrote about her life on scraps of paper, in her own solemn idiom, words of simple intensity. An afterword explains that the poetry in this picture book has been selected from Opal's childhood diary, which was published when she grew up. Opal calls her foster mother "the mama" ("The mama where I live says I am a nuisance . . . the mama likes to have her house nice and clean"). Cooney's clear, beautifully detailed watercolor paintings show the sturdy, solitary child, who imagines her own secret, mischievous world even while she's up to her elbows scrubbing laundry. Whenever she can, Opal escapes into the woods, and she finds her home there. She makes up names for her special companions: for example, her pet mouse is Felix Mendelssohn and her sheltering tree is Michael Raphael. When Michael Raphael is cut down, Opal's lament is a poem of tearing grief ("There was a queer feel in my throat / and I couldn't stand up"); and Cooney's double-page-spread painting shows the rich woodland, the crouching child, and the huge quivering tree crashed to earth. The story ends with Opal once again having to move and leave behind what she loves. Older readers might go on from this diary to read more about Opal and children like her. ~--Hazel Rochman
