這是一本關於城市、孩子與思念的繪本。故事從一名小孩對「你」說話開始，引導讀者一步步感受到城市的冷與大，也感受到孩子心中的柔軟與堅定。Sydney Smith 以細膩構圖與簡潔語言，鋪陳一段未說明對象的尋找，直到最後才悄悄揭示思念的真相。畫面詩意，情感深刻，是一本值得反覆閱讀與細看的作品。It can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but this child has some good advice for a very special friend in need.Winner of the Ezra Jack Keats AwardA New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the YearWinner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway MedalIt can be a little scary to be small in a big city, but it helps to know you're not alone.When you're small in the city, people don't see you, and loud sounds can scare you, and knowing what to do is sometimes hard.
