A Place for Us (Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2025)

這是一個關於城市裡一對無家母子的故事。男孩放學後和媽媽一起吃速食、去圖書館、在公園玩耍，一切看似尋常，但夜深後，他們就在公園長椅上入睡。

James Ransome 以深具情感的圖像描繪出生活的困境與親情的力量，沒有一句文字，卻句句動人。這本書提醒我們：家不僅是一個地方，更是一份愛與相互依靠。

A poignant wordless picture book about a homeless boy and his mom, by Children's Literature Legacy Award winner James Ransome

When a little boy's mom picks him up from school, his day seems a lot like any other kid's. He and his mom go out for some fast food and then head to the library. But when they stay there till closing time, and then go to the park, we learn more. Through the lens of Ransome’s evocative illustrations we see that they ate out because they don't have a kitchen to cook in. They went to the library because they don't have a quiet space to do homework. And at night, they settle in to sleep on a bench in a city park because they don't have a home. The next morning, they are awakened by the rising sun, Mom’s bag is full of clean clothes, and there’s a fountain for washing up--and finally they are ready for the walk to school. His classmates may or may not know about his living situation, but what shines throughout the story is the deep love he and his mom have for each other.
