כשהעכבר הצעיר בורזוק יוצא לשדה הגדול לבדו בחיפוש אחר גרגרים אדומים, הוא נלכד בציפורני ציפור ענקית ונישא גבוה אל השמים. דרך הרפתקאותיו של ניקולס, הוא לומד לבטוח ביצורים שחשב שהם אויביו. הסיפור מזמין אותנו לבחון דעות קדומות, להקשיב ולחשוב היטב לפני שאנחנו מגיבים בזעם.

רעיונות לשילוב הספר בגן

The mice accuse the birds of eating the fruits, so they start shouting and cursing. You can discuss the mice’s hasty assumptions and hot-tempered reaction. What did the mice react as they did? Can you and your children remember some situations where you or they reacted angrily before they understood a situation? How did they or we feel then? And what were the consequences of our hasty reaction?
Borzok's experience with the field mice and with the big wild bird, made him see all birds as vicious until he nested with the birds and became their friends. We can reflect with our child on an experience at home or outside when he/she changed their mind regarding a person or a group.
At the end of the story, both sides shared the ripe red fruits in the field. What can the mice share with their new friends?
Autumn is the birds’ migration period in our country. Perhaps take you child to a garden or into nature to watch migrating birds and also to search for abandoned nests.
What do birds like to eat in our surroundings? Let us design a “restaurant” for the birds and hang it on the tree. We can put in it food (such as seeds, fruit or vegetables), and then check what our garden’s visitors like best.
Author/Illustrator Lio Lioni's special technique is using parts of leaves to form the characters in his books. We may want to examine this technique with our child by letting him create his favorite characters from the story!

المربّية العزيزة

"أين كنت يا برزق" كتابٌ يعجّ بالمضامين التربوية والاجتماعيّة التي يمكن أن تفتح بابًا للحوار الشّيق مع الأطفال، والمحفّز على التفكير والإبداع. أحد هذه المواضيع هو ردّ الفعل الغاضب والعدائي لدى أغلب النّاس لموقفٍ ما، دون أن يعرفوا التفاصيل ويروا الصورة كاملةً. موضوع آخر هامّ يتعرّض له الكتاب هو التعايش بسلامٍ مع المختلف عنّا- خاصّة مع من نعتبره عدوًّا لنا. الكتاب متميّز أيضًا بأسلوبه الفنّي الذي اشتهر به "ليو ليوني" والمعتمد على استخدام مُزق الورق لتشكيل كولاجات مختلفة.
