This child’s story is also available in Korean, English, Chinese, and Spanish edition, “Alisa en el Pais del Lavavajillas.” All editions are now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retail sites.
Author and illustrator, Marian Flores has spent her life living in small Connecticut towns. She is married and has a son and an elderly cat. She attended Paier School of Art, where she earned a certificate in Advertising and Commercial Art and later Central Connecticut State University, where she was inspired to write this book. Currently, she is an art teacher at a private special needs school. She greatly enjoys her students who are children on the autism spectrum with multiple disabilities.
“Alisa in Washerland” is a contemporary twist and plays on words with the classic book, Alice in Wonderland, inspired by the author’s dislike for washing dishes as a child, and her nieces’ disdain for putting dishes into the dishwasher. When Marian’s sister had a dream that she was living in the dishwasher, she found a way to combine all these things into this whimsical fable.
The protagonist of this tale is a ten-year-old girl named Alisa, who hates washing dishes and hopes that she never has to. She wished, then shrank in size and was drawn inside the dishwasher’s magical realm, where she saw strange creatures washing the dishes. Alisa yearned to return to the real world because she missed her friends and family. She made it back into the real world and vowed to never again whine about having to do the dishes.
“この本は最高の物語がするように、日常の物事を今までとは違った視点で見せてくれます。」”
“The book does what the best stories do; makes you see ordinary things in a way you never had before.”
