☆☆一本讓人開懷大笑又充滿智慧的繪本☆☆
☆☆一個比《龜兔賽跑》更有趣的新寓言☆☆
☆☆一個比《龜兔賽跑》更有趣的新寓言☆☆
兔子用盡全力踢球，球擊中門柱飛越欄杆，滾到了牆角下。
兔子不停喊著：「請幫我撿球！」
每個路過的人都來幫忙……
但是，這顆紅色的球不停的滾來滾去，就是撿不回來！
這該怎麼辦才好？
本書特色
一顆滾來滾去的紅球+一隻撿不到球的兔子+一隻慢條斯理的烏龜+竭盡所能幫忙的路人
這麼簡單的元素，能變出的一個極具戲劇張力的故事嗎？
主角真的是兔子嗎？還是烏龜？又或者是那顆紅色的球？
作者車雅達以輕快的節奏、發人深省的情節、令人驚奇的轉折，帶領讀者探討生命的意義。
#兔子啊！別再懶惰了！
這不是龜兔賽跑，但兔子和烏龜不同的速度感，帶來令人高反差的爆笑情節。
明明是在牆底下的一顆球，卻好像隔了十萬八千里一樣的遙遠。
兔子覺得麻煩、覺得懶，不想自己走下去撿球，
然而最詭異的事情發生了！
為什麼沒有一個路過的人可以幫忙把球撿回來？
#烏龜啊！好慢好自在！
有點重聽的烏龜爺爺，聽不清兔子的請求，慢步前進。
他從白天走到黑夜，用適合自己的速度，慢慢往上爬。
有那麼一刻，烏龜爺爺被球打到，也在某個時刻和紅球相遇。
他到底有沒有幫忙撿到球呢？
#請別人幫忙，真的會比較快嗎？
就跟大部分的人生一樣，很多事情可能會不如預期。
大部分的人都跟兔子一樣，只專注在自己的目標上，越是達不到越是驚慌。
也許有人會願意幫忙，但也會有人越幫越忙。
那顆球就像是幫忙的力道，越是想要用力幫忙，反作用力越大。
#時間與速度的寓言
在下坡路上的指標，指出了相同的距離，蝸牛的時間、烏龜的時間和兔子的時間。
也暗示了兔子原本只需要花一分鐘撿球，但最後卻從白天忙到黑夜。
這條路上每個人都踏著自己的步伐與速度，感受過程中的風景。
再看一次繪本，當你急呼呼的想幫兔子撿球的時候，是否發現錯過的細節呢？
◎延伸看點：
● 從天空的轉換，你發現時間的變化嗎？
● 烏龜爺爺的帽子哪時候掉了？什麼時候找回來？
● 有幾個路人幫忙撿球呢？
◎適合推薦給：
● 個性急躁的孩子與慢條斯理的孩子
● 總是拉著孩子往前衝的家長
● 追求快速、高效率和目標導向的上班族

Ali and the guys
Format: Kindle
The story of a lost art student that needs direction. Decides to nanny for a winery owner and his best friends/employees. Fires and lockdowns happen and relationships start. Lots of spice sometimes a little too much I found myself skimming over the parts. Happy ending

Artist Inspiration
Format: Kindle
Ali Fairfax is a twenty-seven year old painter. She is going to an interview for a job as a nanny. She wants to go to art college but has no portfolio pieces to submit. For the last year, her mind goes blank the second she picks up a brush. The nanny interview is at Ashford Winery.
Luke Ashford has a son named Charlie who is almost five. Beckett Montgomery is one of Luke’s best friends and he helps Luke run the winery. Hunter Jones is Luke’s other best friend and he is the marketing director for the winery. The men have been running the winery for the last year or so.
Charlie likes Ali and so does Luke, so he hires her. Charlie is into reptiles and he also makes Ali make a grilled cheese sandwich for his snack. Hunter comes in the kitchen to tell them that the winds have shifted and there are wildfires nearby. All the roads in or out of the valley are closed down for now. Ali is stuck at the winery with the men and Charlie.
Interesting dynamic between the three best friends. I loved that being stuck at the winery inspired Ali to start painting again. I enjoyed the story.

So So Good
Format: Kindle
I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Ali Firfax, Luke Ashford, Beckett Montgomery, & Hunter Jones. Ali is ready for a new adventure in her life. Though her mother worries about her she is determined to do her own thing. When she gets to the house though she can't believe how attractive all the men who live there are. Luke's first priority is defiantly his son, one look at Alit though has him wondering if he has been to narrow minded. When he two roommates realize who Ali is they will do anything they can to keep her there. When mother nature tends to help them they know they will do anything to keep her. Can they all find a HEA or will mother nature make sure none of them have a future?
Amazing story by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Fire 4 ¾ stars
Format: Kindle
Set against the backdrop of California fires, this is a story of Ali finding her forever family. Luke, Becket and Hunter own a winery that is close to the fire. Every day is a wait and see if they are going to lose their home. Ali, an aspiring artist, applied to be the nanny to Luke’s son. The attraction was obvious from the very beginning. Once Ali decided to let go, the steamy scenes were unstoppable. I like that the author showed the readers not just the relationship between her and the guys. The story also showed how the three are close to each other. It’s a good bedtime read. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily chose to review it.

Great Read
Format: Kindle
The interview was perfect and the way she ran out thinking the worst is so something I would have done. When Luke goes out to get her and asks her to stay is even better. The way Beckett acts is the complete opposite of Luke and Hunter. They all have different personalities but they each pull something different from her. They way they work as a team to save everything was just part of what shows what a future could look like for them. I would love to read more.
