暑期即将过半，希望大家都吃好、玩好，休息好！在这来之不易的假日里，也有些小读者只想待在空调房里，静静享受阅读的乐趣——本期推文，我们特地为FLIS读者准备了一份由学部各主管、教师们推荐的书单。

Summer vacation is halfway over, and we hope everyone has been eating well, having fun, and getting plenty of rest! During this hard-earned holiday, some readers may just want to stay in an air-conditioned room and quietly enjoy the pleasure of reading. With that in mind, we have prepared a list of books for FLIS readers, recommended by department directors and teachers.

教学过程中，你是否发现学生对某些主题特别感兴趣？有没有什么书是你觉得特别适合这个阶段的学子阅读的？基于以上两个问题，教职工们给出了自己的推荐：既有图文并茂、故事引人入胜，帮助小读者从绘本过渡到文字读物的小说，亦有传授沟通技巧，促进理解与联结之作。不论你想要探索生命之深度广度，又或对人性的复杂与隐秘颇感好奇，这份书单都不会令你失望。

During the teaching process, have you noticed that students are particularly interested in certain topics? Are there any books you think are especially suitable for students at this stage to read? Based on these two questions, faculty members have shared their recommendations: some are novels with vivid illustrations and engaging stories, helping young readers transition from picture books to text-based reading materials, while others focus on teaching communication skills to foster understanding and connection. Whether you seek to explore the depth and breadth of life or are curious about the complexity and mysteries of human nature, this reading list will not disappoint you.

Awarded the Caldecott Gold Medal in 1963, it is a classic picture book.

非暴力沟通 

马歇尔·卢森堡

这本书帮助读者通过转变表达和倾听方式，化解人际冲突，建立和谐关系。它倡导在沟通中清晰区分观察与评判，诚实地表达自身的感受（如受伤、喜悦），而非指责他人；并深入辨识这些感受背后未被满足的内在需要（如理解、尊重）。基于此向对方提出具体、可行的请求，而非命令。同时强调以同理心倾听他人，专注于其感受和需要。这种模式旨在替代评判性语言，促进理解与联结，使沟通成为基于尊重、关注彼此福祉的互动桥梁，最终导向更富有同理心的解决方案和深层的情感满足。

This book helps readers resolve conflicts and build healthy relationships by transforming their communication and listening skills. It advocates clearly distinguishing between observation and judgment in communication, honestly articulating one's own feelings (such as hurt or joy) rather than blaming others, and deeply identifying the unmet inner needs underlying these feelings (such as understanding or respect). Based on this, it encourages making specific, actionable requests rather than issuing commands. It also emphasizes listening to others with empathy, focusing on their feelings and needs. This approach aims to replace judgmental language with understanding and connection, transforming communication into a respectful, mutually beneficial interaction that fosters empathetic solutions and deeper emotional fulfillment.

By reading this book, we can gain insight into Sanmao and her husband José's unique life experiences in a foreign land and reflect on Sanmao's contemplations about the value of self-existence and the meaning of life, and gain a deeper understanding of tolerance, respect, and freedom. The Sahara turned Sanmao into a spirit of the desert. I believe that the beautiful natural landscapes and local customs will inspire readers to be more vibrant and full of life.
