Is It a Weed?

이 책에서 만나는 것

엄마와 보리가 같은 식물을 다르게 생각하는 까닭을 살피고, 근거를 모아 함께 결정하는 과정을 읽어요.

풀과 꽃을 구별해 본 경험이 있으면 좋아요. 잡초라는 말의 뜻을 아이와 먼저 이야기해도 좋아요.

함께 만나는 표현

• Between the bean rows, small blue flowers had opened overnight. Bori knelt on the path to look at them. “They are so beautiful,” she said.
• Mum came down the path with a basket and a short hand fork. “That one is a weed,” she said. “It drinks the water the beans need.”
• “It has flowers,” said Bori. “A weed is a plant nobody wants, and I want this one, so it is a flower. Flowers should stay.”
• Mum pulled one plant out and laid it on the path. Its root was long and white, and dark soil clung to every part of it.
• “Look at the beans beside it,” said Mum. “Their leaves are pale and thin, and the soil is dry where this plant drank first.”
• Bori looked more slowly. The bean leaves beside the flowers were pale and small, while the flowers were bright and easy to see. She did not know what to say.
• A bee came and sat on a blue flower. Then another came, and another. Bori counted four bees in one minute, ticking them off on her wing tips.
• “The bees need the flowers,” said Bori. “If we pull every plant out, the bees will go somewhere else to eat, and we will have fewer flowers next year.”
• Elio looked along the row, then at the bare fence. “There are beans here and flowers there,” he said. “What if we moved the flowers to the fence?”
• Mum dug the three plants from between the bean rows, and the children carried them to the fence one by one.
• “I do not know if they will grow,” said Mum. “Some plants hate to be moved.” Bori gave them water anyway and pressed the soil down.
• Two weeks later, three of the plants had new blue flowers by the fence. The bean rows stood tall in the sun, and the bees came to the flowers there.
