熊貓英文圖書獎(jiǎng)（Panda Book Awards) 始于2008年。當(dāng)時(shí)，來自北京的幾大國(guó)際學(xué)校的圖書管理員們，為了幫助孩子們找到當(dāng)前流行的，受歡迎的書目，組成了熊貓獎(jiǎng)委員會(huì)(Panda Awards Steering Committee)。 首先，這些老師們，自己先讀各種書，不同年齡段，不同題材，不同流派，不同風(fēng)格。之后，一起討論，評(píng)價(jià)，篩選，同時(shí)也參考其他老師，學(xué)生的推薦。最后，列出一份精挑細(xì)選的，緊跟圖書界國(guó)際潮流的，涵蓋多樣主題的，英文進(jìn)階圖書清單。一共四個(gè)年齡段，每個(gè)段，8到10本書。

從暑假起，孩子們就開始讀。等中國(guó)新年假回來后，開始投票，一個(gè)年齡段選出一本最受大家喜愛的。這就是熊貓英文圖書獎(jiǎng)，上一年度的評(píng)選結(jié)果如下：▼

8年來，熊貓英文圖書獎(jiǎng)的影響力不斷上升。開始時(shí)，還只在北京的國(guó)際學(xué)校圈里流行，發(fā)展到上一屆，來自6個(gè)國(guó)家，40多所國(guó)際學(xué)校，5700多名學(xué)生，參與了投票。

那么今年，在新一輪書單中，哪一本，將是你的最愛呢？

9歲的Ada從來都沒有離開過自己的單間公寓。她的腳有殘疾，媽媽覺得這是一件非常丟臉的事，所以就把Ada關(guān)在屋里，不讓出去。當(dāng)?shù)艿躂amie被運(yùn)往倫敦，以躲避戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)，Ada也毫不猶豫地從家里逃了出來，上了船。

Enormous Smallness: A Story of E. E. Cummings ▼
 

故事簡(jiǎn)介：

An illustrated, brief overview of the life of E. E. Cummings. Here E.E.'s life is presented in a way that will make children curious about him and will lead them to play with words and ask plenty of questions as well. Lively and informative, the book also presents some of Cummings's most wonderful poems, integrating them seamlessly into the story to give the reader the music of his voice and a spirited, sensitive introduction to his poetry.

這是一本介紹美國(guó)詩人肯明思 （E.E. Cummings) 的書。奇妙處在于，既生動(dòng)又詳細(xì)地描述肯明思的這一生，同時(shí)，也潤(rùn)物細(xì)無聲地激發(fā)孩子們的思考，讓他們問出一連串的問題。書中所節(jié)選的詩歌，更是一步一步引導(dǎo)孩子們?nèi)ンw驗(yàn)文字的神奇力量。

找來度娘，簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下這位詩人，肯明思1915年畢業(yè)于哈佛大學(xué)，畢業(yè)的演說以《新藝術(shù)》為題，對(duì)現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)，主要是立體主義，未來主義的繪畫，作了大膽的肯定。

第一次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，肯明思參加過救護(hù)車隊(duì)在法國(guó)戰(zhàn)地的工作，進(jìn)過集中營(yíng)，之后用超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義手法，把這段經(jīng)歷寫進(jìn)《巨大的房間》一書。戰(zhàn)后在巴黎和紐約學(xué)習(xí)繪畫，并開始寫詩，善于用辛辣的譏諷，表達(dá)他對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中丑惡面的蔑視和挑戰(zhàn)?？厦魉及熏F(xiàn)代資本主義社會(huì)中野蠻的爭(zhēng)奪，感情上的冷漠，行為中的偽善稱為“非人類”或“非世界”，以漫畫式的筆調(diào)，加以嘲弄和鞭撻。

肯明斯有些詩集的題名離奇古怪, 詩行參差不齊, 在語法和用詞上也是別出心裁。詞語任意分裂，標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)異乎尋常，除了強(qiáng)調(diào)一般不用大寫，將“I”寫成“i”, 將自己的名字寫成了“e.e.cummings”, 因此他又常常被稱為“小寫的肯明思” 。

Rory is going to find out - and that’s going to start with escaping from the hospital. 

Rory莫名其妙全身變綠后，就被送到了研究所。當(dāng)眾多科學(xué)家百思不得其解時(shí)，Rory也產(chǎn)生各種疑問：和基因有關(guān)？和病毒有關(guān)？和自己吃的東西有關(guān)？可是如果都不是呢？難道這代表著自己要去做一些驚天動(dòng)地的大事？畢竟有好幾個(gè)人在變成超級(jí)英雄前也是全身都變綠了。。。Rory想要弄個(gè)明白，那么，第一步就要想辦法從醫(yī)院的研究所里逃出來。

Roller Girl出版后就獲得了五星評(píng)級(jí)，也是2016年紐伯瑞兒童文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)銀獎(jiǎng)作品之一。作者Victoria Jamieson巧妙地將各種主題融入到故事中，關(guān)于友誼，關(guān)于堅(jiān)持，關(guān)于girl power （女孩力量）！
