Overview

The wordless picture book depicts inner growth through a child's fantasy trip into the deep end of a swimming pool.

Book Intro

(Russian) Бассейн

Мальчик смотрит на голубую гладь безлюдного бассейна. Может, он мечтает о свободном плавании? В это время к бассейну стекаются люди. Они ныряют и весело резвятся в воде. Молча понаблюдав за ними, мальчик находит свободный уголок бассейна и погружается в воду. Оказалось, что под водой уже была девочка. Вместе они уходят глубоко под воду. Там их встречает совсем другой мир, населённый разными необычными существами, и они весело с ними играют. Что же ещё их ждёт на этой глубине?

 

(English) Pool

Pool is a wordless picture book. Most picture books tell a full story through the combination of words and pictures. But a wordless picture book only shows pictures and leaves filling the blanks to the readers' imagination. Each reader makes their own story by imaging an "invisible story" while looking at "visible story." What is the "visible story" of this picture book?
A boy looks at an empty pool. Is he dreaming of swimming freely? Just then, a swarm of people come. They splash into the water, filling up the pool and making a lot of noise as they play. The boy, who was watching quietly, goes to the edge of the pool and dives into the water. He finds a girl under the surface. Together, they go down deeper.
Deep down is another world. Various fascinating creatures greet the two children and they joyfully spend time with them. But then, what do they run into in the deep abyss? A huge white whale! The children and the whale look at each other for awhile before parting, then the children go up and get out of the water. By now, everyone has finished playing in the water and they are leaving. One young child among them looks back at the pool as if
she left something behind
This "visible story" raises many questions. Who
s the boy? Whos the girl he meets in the water? What is the meaning of the disturbance that all the people make in the water? What are the fascinating creatures in the deep water? And what about the huge white whale? But did the boy really go into the water? Did he really met the underwater creatures? Why did the child in the last scene look back? Did she also see the underwater creatures that followed the boy and the girl? ... And what on earth is this weird pool?
The answers to these questions will be the "invisible story" left to the readers. This book wishes that each reader has their own questions and and imagines their own story as they each search for their answers. Although the author wrote one sentence at the last scene as if implying her own story, the reader
s story will be the readers share.
