Description | 简介
小兔子想去探索远方的草原。它翻过一座又一座山坡，总觉得前面还有更高的山在等着自己。一路上，遇见的牛爷爷和羊奶奶都温柔地提醒它：“天快下雪了，早点回家！”可是，小兔子还是忍不住继续向前。终于登上最高的山坡时，一场大雪突然降临，茫茫白雪盖住了所有熟悉的道路。正当小兔子害怕又无助时，远处雪地里出现了红色的手套和蓝色的围巾——原来，沿途关心它的长辈们正用这些鲜艳的颜色为它指引回家的方向。在大家默默的守护下，小兔子终于回到了妈妈温暖的怀抱。这是一个关于勇敢探索、善 意接力与无声守护的温暖故事。
A curious little rabbit sets out to explore the vast grasslands, climbing one hill after another, always eager to discover what lies beyond the next. Along the way, caring elders gently remind the rabbit that snow is coming and it's time to head home. But the adventure is too exciting to stop! When the rabbit finally reaches the highest hill, a sudden snowstorm blankets the landscape, hiding every familiar path. Lost and frightened, the rabbit notices a pair of bright red mittens in the distance, followed by a familiar blue scarf. The kind elders met along the journey are guiding the rabbit home, one colorful signal at a time. Through their quiet acts of care, the little adventurer safely returns to its mother's embrace. A tender story about curiosity, independence, community kindness, and the reassuring love that helps children find their way.
Why We Recommend It
一本将儿童独立探索与成人温柔守护巧妙结合的中国原创绘本。作者周旭以富有韵律的重复叙事，描绘小兔子不断翻越山坡、追寻远方的好奇心，也展现了长辈们既不阻止孩子冒险，又在关键时刻伸出援手的智慧。红手套与蓝围巾在茫茫雪原中成为醒目的路标，让抽象的关爱化作孩子能够观察和理解的视觉语言。作品最突出的艺术特色是独特的撕纸拼贴技法，通过手工纸与宣纸的层层叠加，创造出草原雪景丰富而质朴的肌理，呈现中国原创图画书别具一格的艺术美感。故事采用出发与归途相呼应的循环结构，适合幼儿进行情节预测、观察细节与故事复述。作品还以辽阔的内蒙古草原为背景，让孩子在阅读中感受中国北方的自然风貌与人与人之间朴素的互助精神。
A beautifully crafted Chinese picture book that balances children's desire for independence with the quiet reassurance of caring adults. Through rhythmic repetition and a carefully structured journey, author-illustrator Zhou Xu captures a young rabbit's curiosity and determination to explore the world. Rather than preventing the adventure, the elders offer gentle reminders and become guiding lights when help is needed. Their red mittens and blue scarf stand out against the snowy landscape, transforming the abstract idea of love and protection into vivid visual symbols that young readers can easily understand. The book's distinctive torn-paper collage technique, combining layers of handmade paper and traditional Chinese rice paper, creates rich textures that evoke the vast, snow-covered grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Its circular storytelling structure encourages prediction, visual observation, and retelling, making it especially engaging for preschoolers. Beyond its universal themes of kindness, courage, and community support, the book introduces children to the landscapes of northern China and the expressive possibilities of paper collage in contemporary Chinese picture-book art.
Reading & Activity Ideas

Follow the Colorful Clues: Hide red mittens and blue scarves around a classroom or play area, inviting children to follow the clues and find their way "home." Story Sequencing: Arrange picture cards showing the rabbit's journey across the hills and its return home, encouraging children to retell the story in order. Spot the Details: Examine the illustrations and ask, "Why are the red mittens easy to see in the snow?" and "What do the footprints tell us about how the rabbit feels?" Independence & Safety Discussion: Talk about exploring new places, asking trusted adults for help, and what to do if separated from family. Grassland Discovery: Explore photographs of Inner Mongolia's grasslands and compare how the landscape changes across seasons.
