Puppet

當所有木偶都已離去，Sylvester 在靜默中創作出他人生中的最後一件作品。這個名為 Puppet 的木偶，不僅會說話，還會行走，彷彿有了靈魂。Puppet 透過簡潔文字與無字畫面，描繪一段跨越孤獨的相遇與陪伴，木偶不只是創作物，也成了重新連結人與人之間的橋樑。這是一個細膩描寫老年、創造力與希望的故事，語調溫柔，餘韻深遠。

From Hans Christian Andersen Medal-winning author David Almond comes a heartwarming story that shows anything is possible with imagination and trust. What should a puppet master do when he’s old and alone, and all his puppets are gone? Sylvester makes one last puppet. But this one is different.

When the old man speaks to him, Puppet speaks back. And then he walks…While Sylvester shows Puppet the town, the playground and the wonders the world holds, Puppet in turn helps Sylvester to make a new friend, and share his puppet-making skills with the next generation in this wonder-filled story of creation and the circle of life. Illustrated with sequences of wordless spreads by an award-winning artist, this is a modern-day classic.
