Teacher’s notes by Amanda Robinson.

Outline / Overview:

It goes without saying that all children believe their parents to be strange. Mine were unusual for a different reason…

One boy’s parents travel from far-off lands to improve their son’s life. But what happens next is unexpected. What does it mean when your parents are different? What shape does love take? And what happens when your parents sacrifice a part of themselves for you?

In this heartbreaking and heart-warming story, CBCA award-winner Zeno Sworder reflects on his own migrant parents’ sacrifices to create a universal story about what it means to give to those you love. Drawing from the sacrifices his Chinese mother made to raise her young family in a small country town, Sworder’s drawings are full of beautiful detail and fairytale settings that explore his own journey from child to parent.

With humour and pathos, Sworder reflects on the strange nature of giving and receiving love and celebrates those parents who embrace a hard life for themselves in the hope of a better life from their children. Full of depth and generosity as well as insight and candour, Sworder brings this gorgeous fable to life.

About the Author / Illustrator:

Zeno Sworder is a writer and artist who lives in Melbourne with his young family. After studying Chinese literature and migration law at university, he ended up as a dish washer. Later, he went on to work as a journalist, an English language teacher, a consular officer, an advocate for refugees and immigrants and a jewellery designer. He is a lover of all stationery but has a particular soft spot for pencils.

Sworder is the CBCA New Illustrator of the Year 2021, and his first book This Small Blue Dot was a CBCA Notable Book, the winner of the 2021 Australian Book Designers Association’s Award for Best Designed Children’s Illustrated Book, and the Designers’ Choice Children’s/Young Adult Book of the Year.

Themes to explore:

• Love
• Migration
• Multiculturalism
• Loneliness
• Acceptance
• Coming of age

Links to curriculum:

English, Art/Design, critical and creative thinking.  

Application in the classroom:

Introductory activity:

Before beginning the book, have the students draw a picture of their immediate family/caregivers and include themselves in the picture.

Ask the students to share their drawing and explain who they have drawn with the aim of demonstrating both the similarities and the differences between each students’ drawings.

Share the following definition with the students:

Immigrant: a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.

Interaction during reading:

Two initial readings are suggested for this book.

On the first reading, allow the students to observe what they noticed.

Facilitate a discussion about what the students observed on the first read.

• What did they like about the story?
• What did they like about the characters?
• How did it make them feel?

On the second reading, direct students to some or all of these moments in the story:

• When the baker asks for 5 centimetres – what does he mean?
• The principal ‘kindly requested only 8 centimetres’.
• Ask the students to consider ‘how many centimetres’ uniforms, shoes and books might cost.
• What is happening when the parents are selling fruit?
• What does the boy think when the other children begin calling him names? Is he being fair to his parents?
• What does the boy’s mother mean when she says: ’Our hearts are just as big/Our love is just as good.’
• What happens when the boy has his own family? What happens to his parents?

Text response:

• The boy’s parents give their height so the boy can have things. What do your parents give you? How do they make you grow?

• What are some of the good things about the boy’s parents shrinking?

• Why does the boy want his parents to stop shrinking?

• What did the boy’s parents teach him about being different?

• The boy’s mother sings him a song, which he sings back to her at the end. The words say ‘Though our lives may be humble/ We are giants within.’ What does ‘humble’ mean? Even though the parents shrink, they are still giants – how?

Creative response:

Have the students select one of the parents in the story – it could be the boy’s mother or his father. Select one of the following moments from the story and write a journal entry from the point of view of your chosen parent:

• When the parents arrive from in Australia.
• When the baker asks for 5 centimetres
• When the boy has his own family and his parents don’t have to give any more.

Text comparison:

Watch the following reading of The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.

Facilitate a discussion using the following questions:

• What does the tree give the boy in The Giving Tree? What do the boys parents give in My Strange Shrinking Parents?

• The Giving tree gives everything she has to the boy until she is just a stump. Is she still happy? Why/Why not? Do you think this is fair? Why/why not?

• What happens at the end of My Strange Shrinking Parents?

Art/Design exercise

Consider how the pictures tell a story in My Strange Shrinking Parents.

Exercise One:

Have the students respond to the following famous paintings/illustrations. It could be as simple as describing what is being depicted or they could create a story based on the image.

Exercise Two:

Each image has its own style. What does each style tell us about the person who painted it?

Have the students create their own painting or drawing which represents their style or emulates the style depicted in the images provided. Maybe they use lots of colour, maybe they use just one. Perhaps they use a cartoons style or a more realistic style.

Exercise Three:

Notice the tea pots at the start and the beginning and throughout the story. Each tea pot is very different, but they all do the same thing.

Ask the students to consider what kind of tea pot they might be. Have the draw themselves as a tea pot.

‘Let this series begin the discussion.’ – Bruce Pascoe

The First Knowledges series offers an introduction to Indigenous knowledges in vital areas and their application to the present day and the future. Exploring practices such as architecture and design, land management, medicine, astronomy and innovation, this six-book series brings together two very different ways of understanding the natural world: one ancient, the other modern.

Each book is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers and editors. The series is edited by Margo Neale, senior Indigenous curator at the National Museum of Australia.

Posted on June 15, 2021

Reading The Seasons is a must-read for book clubs and book lovers alike, offering a wealth of recommendations for new titles, while delighting in the power of reading itself.

<break>

<break>

Book Club Questions:

1. For a time, reading became Germaine’s Achilles’ heel, a way to stay an observer rather than experiencing life, while Sonya describes books as enabling her to weather the vagaries of existence. Do either of these reflections resonate with your own experience? How would you describe your own history in relationship to books?

2. Books and reading created the foundation of a friendship and added an extra depth of intimacy for Germaine and Sonya. Have books offered the start of a friendship for you or created a deeper intimacy with friends?

3. Do you believe in reading lists and the idea of there being books you ‘should’ read?

4. Sonya saw a client who likened keeping a notebook about his reading experience akin to writing in a journal after making love to a woman. Germaine, in turn, saw a client who believed that her reading notebooks, containing quotes and impressions of books she had read, were more personal and showed more of her inner world than a diary. What are your thoughts on the private depths that reading can reveal within us?

5. Germaine had a client who was looking for memoirs and fiction that could act as a guide or friend when navigating the next stage in their life. Have you turned to stories as mentors on your own life journey?

6. Sonya is a poetry lover, feeling that poems access a depth in her that she believes cannot be reached otherwise. Germaine responded that Freud once wrote that wherever he went, he discovered a poet had been there before. What do you think about the power of poetry to reach the depths of the psyche, and how do you think that is possible in so few words?

7. How do you feel about so-called ‘summer reads’? Is summer a time of year when reading becomes more important to you? If so, what kind of reading do you find yourself drawn to?

8. Germaine and Sonya write about the emotional experiences they were trying to understand through their reading during adolescence. What books, if any, helped you understand this confusing time of life?

9. Hilary Mantel, in a Guardian article written in memory of English author Elizabeth Jane Howard, noted how undervalued British female writers were in the 20^th century. She included authors such as Anita Brookner, Barbara Pym and Elizabeth Taylor in that category. Do you agree? Have you read any of these authors’ works and if so, why do you think they didn’t receive the recognition enjoyed by male authors of that era?

10. Both Sonya and Germaine found wisdom and comfort in the following quote from Dante’s Inferno: ‘At the midpoint of the path of life / I found / Myself lost in a wood so dark, the way / Ahead was blotted out’. Are there any specific literary quotes that have helped you navigate your way through a difficult time in your life?

11. Author Javier Marías once said that the need to read is a ‘need for recognition rather than cognition’. Is reading to be reassured that you aren’t alone something that resonates with you?

12. After children’s writer Judith Kerr’s death, Germaine and Sonya were reminded of the nostalgia of reading to small children and the emotion that stirred up. Are there any children’s books that make you nostalgic for a time or place?

13. When Sonya finishes a book she loves, she goes through a grieving period and must step back from reading for a moment, while a friend of hers goes straight to the bookshelf for the next one. Germaine may go to a different genre as a break. Do you ritualise the end of a book? And if so, how?

14. Robertson Davies believes that ‘a truly great book should be read in youth, again in maturity and once more in old age, as a fine building should be seen by morning light, at noon and by moonlight’. This speaks to Heraclitus’ assertion that ‘you never step into the same river twice’ – each reading will be a new experience, as you are a different person each time. What are your thoughts on this? Do you reread books? If you do, is it to learn something new or revisit a past moment?

15. Later in the book, Sonya ventures onto Tinder and includes a photo of her standing in front of her bookshelf. Germaine mentions she feels she could be friends with the owners of an Airbnb she’s staying in, based on their bookshelves. Have you ever formed an opinion of someone after seeing what’s on their bookshelves?

16. Sonya comments in one of her letters that she always feels like sharing a glass of something celebratory when she writes to Germaine to talk about books. The two share gin, champagne, wine, tea and coffee throughout their seasons. What’s your favourite tipple when talking to friends about books?

Working in a creative industry, it’s important to all of us at Thames & Hudson Australia to cherish local experts, creatives, businesses and communities. This year, our marketing team made a conscious decision to incorporate more homegrown talent into our campaigns. We celebrate books from all over the world and bring them to an Australian audience, while championing some local legends who make working in this creative space such a dream.

With this in mind, we began planning our Mother’s Day campaign with the vision of purchasing materials for our photoshoot from local suppliers, who complimented our floral theme and simple promotional message:

The Picks of the Bunch

A book for every Mum

<break>

Our first port of call was Melbourne-based florist Ivy & Eve, who kindly made the gorgeous floral arrangements for our shoot, perfectly matching our colour direction and requirements. We were also able to create a gift-pack using their lovely wares which were suitable for national delivery, meaning everyone based in Australia can enter our Mother’s Day competition here.

<break>

A floral theme lends itself to vases, and for this we enlisted the help of family-owned vintage and second-hand suppliers, R.R Home. Not only do they source and sell beautiful wares, but buying pre-loved pieces also reduces environmental impact and is an important mission we are mindful of in everything we do.

<break>

It was by sheer chance that we stumbled upon the work of ceramicist and school-teacher Kya Bianté, just in time to make a purchase from her first-ever sale. We fell in love with the hand-shaped vase she created and knew it was a perfect addition to our shoot. Her Etsy store is brimming with more beautiful pieces here.

<break>

We thank our whole community for helping us bring our Mother’s Day campaign to life, from our creative colleagues to our talented authors and the brilliant local creatives featured in this piece. Learn more about the titles in our Mother’s Day campaign here.
