十歲的 Mayowa 一直覺得爺爺 Edward 很奇怪。他會把鬍子染成翡翠綠，還會偷偷在房間裡跳上書本。直到某一天，Mayowa 也忍不住跳上一本書，才發現這不是胡鬧，而是家族世代相傳的祕密魔法。Mayowa 可以「書本跳躍」。只要跳上一本書，她就能汲取故事中的情緒，再將那些感受注入現實中的人心。一本書裡的勇氣、悲傷、希望與憤怒，都可能成為推動世界改變的力量。當 Mayowa 得知自己的能力也許能拯救許多難民的生命，她決定不再旁觀，而是要真正踏進這場冒險。然而，書本跳躍者不只她和爺爺。有人想用這份力量帶來理解與希望，也有人想把它變成操控人心的工具。Mayowa 必須學會分辨善意與危險，更要明白：故事的力量，從來不只存在於書頁之中。推薦給喜歡《Skandar and the Unicorn Thief》、《Impossible Creatures》與魔法冒險故事的讀者。‘Joyful and truly original’ – Katherine Rundell, author of Impossible CreaturesWARNING: DO NOT JUMP ON THIS BOOK!Have you ever jumped on a book?

Drawing as a tool of thought: an investigation of drawing, cognition, and creativity that integrates text and hand-drawn images.Drawing is a way of constructing ideas and observations as much as it is a means of expressing them. When we are not ready or able to put our thoughts into words, we can sometimes put them down in arrangements of lines and marks.

She interweaves illuminating hand-drawn images with text, integrating recent findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience with accounts of her own artistic and teaching practices.
