★2022年國際安徒生大獎得主――蘇西．李Suzy Lee最新繪本力作！★跳脫平面限制，讓你看得到音樂、摸得到音符！★全書採特殊裝幀加工，包括：5組長拉頁＋內頁局部鏤空燙黑＋海報，每一頁翻開都是驚喜！★本書與Suzy Lee最新散文集《摸得到的靈感――SUZY LEE談創作與人生》同步上市！☆☆「我想將各種藝術類型的不同元素融入圖畫書中，創造出某種超越文字與圖像的存在。」☆☆Suzy Lee持續拓展繪本的邊界。作為首位獲得安徒生大獎的韓國人，她證明了自己的作品已昇華為能同時打動兒童與成人的藝術形式，並在此過程中建立了獨特的類型。《一起跳舞》是Suzy Lee在無字繪本領域的又一次大膽實驗，將圖像創作與音樂「跨領域」結合的繪本作品。她創作時思考的是：「圖畫書要如何超越方方正正的書本往外延伸？」本書源於2024年「Danced Away Project」的延伸――這是一項試圖超越傳統紙本媒介、進入全新創作領域的嘗試。她和韓國NFT平台合作，發行了以本書場景為基礎的NFT動畫影片，並製作與NFT數量相同的特別版盒裝不裝訂繪本。之後Suzy Lee發行了裝訂成冊的一般版繪本，即為本書。然而本書一點也不「一般」。Suzy Lee喜歡思考書籍的本質並挑戰實體書本的物理限制，這次她針對本書的裝幀設計也下了不少功夫。她將《波麗露》的旋律分解，以樂曲為靈感，建構出十八幅畫面。為了展現延長的樂音五線譜，部分內頁運用了拉頁的設計，全書共有五張長拉頁，圖像宛如樂音般延展開來，隨著樂譜的視覺元素一同構建出不同風格的樂章。☆☆「我在新聞網站上看到兩張照片並排：一張是戰爭中的城市，另一張則是首爾市中心的煙火慶典。人們手牽著手，隨著華爾滋的樂音向前走，但我們真的在前進嗎？」☆☆翻開書頁，置身黑暗中的小女孩睜開眼後，將手中的小圓球扔到五線譜上，小圓球在五線譜上彈跳、飛躍，隨著樂音的流淌以及故事的開展，與孩子和萬物生靈共舞，逐漸帶出一幅幅由幻想色彩繪製而成的豐富畫面。「大自然跳著和平之舞，而戰爭跳著毀滅之舞。」在這兩段本質上全然相反，卻又在無意之中不斷彼此呼應的舞蹈中，書中孩子隨著《波麗露》的旋律翩翩起舞。Suzy Lee在由無字繪本所構築的圖像世界裡，以感性和悲天憫人的惻隱之心創作出本書。而頁面上那顆陪伴著小女孩前進、玩耍的小圓球，都特別以燙黑處理，同時內頁還有局部鏤空⋯⋯等繁複加工，最終的故事高潮
