题目内容
When I was little, I loved picture books. Even if my parents didn't have time to read the story to me, I could look at the pictures and follow the story. Then I moved on to comic books with their exciting stories of superheroes and, later, to novels. I forgot all about picture books and how wonderful they were.
Last week though, my friend gave me A Fish with a Smile by Jimmy Liao, a writer who makes picture books for older readers. I found the story about a thoughtful man and his pet fish very meaningful. I also thought the pictures were beautiful. Now I've become a fan of picture books all over again.
Jimmy Liao is one of Asia's most famous picture book writers and has had best?sellers at home and abroad. I just finished reading one of his most popular books, Turn Left, Turn Right. The book is about a man and a woman who meet by chance in a park. The woman scribbles down his phone number, but the rain washes it away and they never find each other again. The story touches your heart because the two characters never realize that they are neighbors.
Jimmy Liao's pictures are often funny and cute. He included a rabbit in his book, Secrets in the Woods, and the rabbit has reappeared in his books ever since, partly because readers like it so much. However, his stories can also be serious. They show what it's like to feel lonely in the city, fearful(恐惧) of losing your job or someone you love.
I think this is why Jimmy Liao's works have been so popular.
