李老師陪你探索英文世界 Exploring English with Ms. LeeEP149 | 小說導讀Raymie Nightingale《少女三劍客》與作者Kate Dicamillo的背景故事這絕對是《李老師陪你探索英文世界》開台以來，最勵志又鼓舞人心的一集。
小說導讀：Raymie Nightingale《中譯：少女三劍客》
作者：Kate Dicamillo
作者介紹：
孩提時期，體弱多病患慢性肺炎的Kate已經帶給她身體上的拖磨，想不到在家庭破碎的環境下，更蒙上她精神壓力的打擊。不僅如此，在第一堂的發音拼字課後，更是完全聽不懂，憑藉著生母一點一滴地引導，使得她慢慢重拾信心，但出了社會後，運途似乎沒有順利多少，投稿作品後，更是收到多達1000多封的婉拒信件⋯ 如果是同樣的機遇發生在自己身上，會怨天尤人？還是繼續逆風挺進呢？
小說內容介紹：
三位有著不同際遇的女孩為了奪下佛州輪胎美少女后冠，交織在故事的主軸線上，但她們絕非為了表面的功名利祿，而是希望藉著比賽的成果，撫平小時候刻劃在心底深處因原生家庭所致的缺憾。
而在您心中，是不是也有一塊需要被療癒的童年時光呢？
Bonus: 李老師首度公開國二在美國求學時，曾一度也想放棄學習？
受傷的天使也要先暖好自己，才能溫暖眾人的手。
李老師與小幫手Aaron邀您打開Raymie Nightingale，一起體會Kate Dicamillo的優雅文字魅力與一睹隱藏在三位少女背後的人生故事
想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事，來請老師喝杯咖啡吧！

The Harper’s PodcastKate DiCamilloKate DiCamillo—the author of Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, The Beatryce Prophecy, and many other novels—speaks with Harper’s Magazine editor Christopher Beha about discovering her vocation in children’s literature. DiCamillo discusses how her writing for children is shaped by a sense of responsibility toward them, and what children’s literature can offer to adults. Rather than trading on double entendres and other devices that enliven children’s stories for the parent reading at the bedside, DiCamillo recovers a child’s sense of magic for adult readers—one that isn’t displaced into a realm of fantasy.
