James Marshall

    James Marshall besaß die seltene Gabe, Leser mit minimalem Text und einfachen Zeichnungen zu begeistern. Seine Charaktere, oft Tiere mit ausgeprägten Persönlichkeiten, konnten mit wenigen Strichen eine breite Palette von Emotionen ausdrücken. Marshall verstand es meisterhaft, komplexe Situationen in humorvolle Erzählungen zu destillieren, die sowohl Kinder als auch Erwachsene ansprachen. Sein einzigartiger Stil und seine Gabe, die Essenz der Kindheit einzufangen, machten ihn zu einem beliebten Autor.

      Not so very long ago, on the most beautiful beach in the world, there sat a most unhappy creature. His name was Willis, and all summer long, large salty tears rolled down his cheeks and dropped into the sand. Willis is sad because he's a sunbather with sensitive eyes but no sunglasses. So he and his friends, Bird, Snake, and Lobster, set out to earn the money needed to buy a pair. After failing ridiculously at a hodgepodge of odd jobs, Lobster comes up with a successful plan that allows them all to enjoy the bright summer days.

      Set in the vibrant Forest of Plenty, the story explores themes of selfishness and the loss of community among its animal and bird inhabitants, who hoard food despite the forest's abundance. The once-loving creatures have grown cold, and even the towering trees reflect this lack of kindness. Observing this decay, God, the great I Am, chooses a special branch on a solitary tree, hinting at a future where it will lead a mighty nation, suggesting a journey towards redemption and unity.
