《Pencil》從一棵樹的誕生開始，描繪它如何化為鉛筆，再經由人手重獲生命。當孩子以它描線、創作、想像，鉛筆不只是工具，更成為通往創意世界的鑰匙。作者以優雅細緻的圖像敘事，呈現物與自然的循環，讓讀者重新思考平凡物件的價值。書中沒有文字，卻充滿動人節奏與思考空間，是引導孩子培養視覺素養與環保意識的佳作。What is a pencil? A forest transformed, and so much more. Even the simplest tool contains multitudes. Once a living tree, then a manufactured commodity, a pencil becomes in the hands of a young artist the key to a rich imaginative world. In this expansive, gorgeously illustrated story, author Hye-Yun Kim asks us to see and appreciate the full value--and infinite possibilities--of the seemingly mundane objects around us. Pencil, a wordless picture book, follows a pencil's life cycle from tree to factory to store shelf and back to tree, drawn on the pages of a book. A powerful aid for teaching readers essential visual literacy skills.
