{"product_id":"날아라꼬마지빠귀야-원제-frau-meier-die-amsel","title":"Fly, Little Thrush (Original Title: Frau Meier, Die Amsel)","description":"Description: Mrs. Meier is always worrying about something—whether a button will fall off, whether an airplane will crash into her garden. Then one day, she discovers a baby thrush in her garden. She raises it with loving care and decides she must teach the young bird to fly, though it isn't easy. But sincerity moves heaven, and the little thrush finally succeeds in flying. Not only the thrush, but Mrs. Meier herself—who had spent so many dark, anxious days—also learns to soar. Mrs. Meier, who once carried a heavy burden of worries, gradually forgets her gloomy daily life thanks to the small opportunity she found in her garden: a baby thrush. Through pouring her love and effort into raising this one bird, her daily worries fade away, and she even experiences the fantastical sensation of flying through the sky. Perhaps worry isn't such a big deal after all. This is a work by Wolf Erlbruch, winner of the International Hans Christian Andersen Award and author of the beloved book known as 'The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business.' Did I feed the little one a strange bug? Does it need to eat more winged bugs before it can fly? Or maybe the little one isn't a thrush at all, but a penguin? If so, how did it end up in our garden? Mrs. Meier sat anxiously on a branch. Then she gazed out into the distance. The little one looked out too. The green meadow was bathed in the light of the setting sun. Everything was still, except for a few late-season bees rustling in the grass. Mrs. Meier looked far out toward the forest on the other side, then up at the sky. Two clouds drifted along side by side. Suddenly, a strange feeling flashed through Mrs. Meier like lightning. — From the text\n\nAuthor: Wolf Erlbruch\nAward: German Youth Literature Prize\nRecent works: 'I'll Be There With You,' 'I'm Scared of Dogs!,' 'Fly, Little Thrush'... 58 titles in total\nAbout the author: Born in 1948 in Wuppertal, Germany.
