Nominated for the 2021 Norwegian Ministry of Culture Picture Book PrizeNominated for the 2021 Norwegian Book Prize (Brage Prize)It's time for bed, but little Bo isn't ready to stop playing quite yet! As his mother gamely guides him through his nighttime routine, he imitates various animals--a hibernating bear after eating a snack, a snuggling sea otter when taking a bath, a coiled python while curling up under the covers... Mommy joins in on the fun and keeps one step ahead of Bo until he falls asleep, soaring like a bird into the world of dreams. A lively and imaginative take on getting ready for bed that celebrates creative family play and the joyous love between mother and son.

在《Sato the Rabbit》第二集中，Sato再次踏入自然與幻想交織的世界。七個故事裡，他枕著泉水入眠、乘著夜裡飄香的花朵飛翔，或透過帽子的小洞，看見夏日森林的蟬鳴。書中畫面樸實卻富詩意，傳遞出感官與想像力交織的微妙世界。這是一本輕巧卻耐人尋味的繪本，讓人重新發現平凡中潛藏的奇妙與美好A pillow of fresh spring water, a moon basket, and flowers that grow more fragrant at night as they carry you aloft into dreams: such is the gentle world, rich in sensorial experience, nature, and imagination, of Sato the Rabbit.Pastoral and surreal, the seven short tales in this collection are a celebration of the senses, and of the harmony that can exist between a gentle creature such as Sato the Rabbit and the natural world. Whether it's a pillow of cool, fresh water offered to him for a nap by the spring on a blisteringly hot day, a fragrant floral air float to carry him and his dreams, a hole in his hat, through which he discovers a midsummer forest full of singing cicadas, or a moon basket, nature's offerings are a bounty to be marveled at and enjoyed. The second book in a whimsical trilogy from Japan, this collection of stories invite

A New York Times Best Children’s Book of 2021A Publishers Weekly High-Concept Picture Book for ChildrenA CCBC (Cooperative Children's Book Center) Choices Best Children’s Book, 2022Is there any creature in the world happier than a dog with a ball in its mouth? Maybe a cat in the sun? Or a kid eating ice cream? This gentle book, with its soft and evocative colored pencil illustrations, is philosophical in its approach to the millions of forms that happiness can take, as well as the contrasting disappointments and sorrows that we encounter as we navigate our lives.Starting from the happiness of waking up into a brand-new day, the book goes on to explore the kinds of relationships and contrasts that play out between our feelings and experiences. These contrasts play out beautifully across the page from left to right, and across a couple of long gatefold pages. Whether it's the nervousness of a beginning paired with the happiness of a middle; the indignity of a cut against the happiness of

《幻想文法》被譽為結合詩意與教育的經典，義大利童書大師Gianni Rodari不只創作童話，更深信故事是孩子認識世界、發展創意的起點。書中透過童話結構解析、遊戲活動與實用建議，引領讀者發現說故事的樂趣，激發想像力。本書由童話研究權威傑Jack Zipes重新翻譯，並搭配插畫家Matt Forsythe的精美圖像，是一本值得反覆翻閱、陪伴成長的創意指南。From the father of modern Italian children’s literature, a guide to fairy tales and their potential for teaching creative storytelling to children—with radiant illustrations from Matt Forsythe and a refreshed translation from Jack Zipes“The ultimate synthesis of Rodari’s exuberant knowledge, a book of both pedagogy and poetics, poetry for teachers and pedagogy for poets.” —Italo CalvinoA groundbreaking pedagogical work that is also a handbook for writers of all ages and kinds, The Grammar of Fantasy offers a playful, practical path to finding your own voice through the power of storytelling. Full of ideas, glosses on fairy tales, stories, and wide-ranging activities, this book changed how creative arts were taught in Italian schools.Gianni Rodari is not only revered as a children’s author, but also remembered f

這本繪本以溫暖筆調與細緻插畫，帶領讀者認識愛德華・李爾 (Edward Lear) ── 一位用幽默和想像力點亮世界的詩人與畫家。他既畫自然，也寫荒誕，既敏感又愛笑。透過故事與創作片段，孩子能在其中感受創意、遊戲與真誠，重新發現「玩」的價值。Written with style and heart by Wolverton Hill and illustrated with whimsical art by Laura Carlin, this love letter to Edward Lear brings him wonderfully to life for young readers. Edward Lear popularized the limerick as we know it and invented the modern literary genre of nonsense, made famous by Lewis Carroll. But did you know that as a teenager, he was a natural history artist on par with John J. Audubon? He has a memorial in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, placing him among the UK's most important authors. Yet even still, Lear seems underappreciated. This picture-book biography will change all of that. Not only does it tell of what Lear did, it also shows who he was by conflating the naturalistic and nonsense, as Lear himself did, and by daring to be both fanciful and playful, for the facts of a life alone can never give you the full picture of a person. Lear

Award-winning master etcher Arthur Geisert is back with the second installment in his trilogy about Clayton County, Iowa, which began with Pumpkin Island. A twist on the classic story of the big bad wolf and the three little pigs, Geisert's version re-imagines the pigs as considerably more resourceful, thanks to their mother's forewarning to be prepared for what the world has in store. Despite the wolf's best attempts to blow each pig's house down, some clever engineering and architecture foil his plans. Created with his signature style of etching and hand-coloring, the intricate illustrations create a world for inquisitive young readers to get lost in, finding new details to return to with each re-reading.

《There Was a Shadow》是《The Happiness of a Dog with a Ball in Its Mouth》作者Bruce Handy與插畫家Lisk Feng再度攜手之作。故事跟隨女孩的一天，從晨曦微光到暮色降臨，描繪光影在生活中流動與變化。書中不僅呈現陽光與影子的遊戲，也暗示了情緒、回憶與思緒的陰影。溫柔的文字與豐富細膩的畫面，邀請讀者靜靜感受世界的光影交錯，也看見自己內心微妙的變化。From the author of New York Times Best Children's Book The Happiness of a Dog with a Ball in Its Mouth, a luminous picture book about the shadows, both literal and emotional, that accompany us throughout our day There was a shadow. It was a new shadow, but also the last hint of night. It was a morning shadow. As the sun makes its daily journey across the sky, light comes down to illuminate our world. Moving and dancing along with this light come a variety of shadows--those cast by the sun and those cast by our feelings, minds, and memories. Here we follow a girl from dawn through dusk into night as she and her friends play with their shadows, take refuge in the shade of a large tree, and set out again for home in the violet glow of twilight. With a lyrical text from Bruce Handy

Time passes, and Froggy learns more than she could ever have imagined. And then one day, just as she once felt the call of the unknown, she hears the call of home--to which she returns, but not quite the same frog as when she left.
