本書改編自真實事件——1966 年紐約猶太神學院圖書館大火。當烈焰吞噬書架、紙頁焦黑，一群消防員與鄰里居民奮力搶救，無論背景、宗教或身分，他們都為同一個信念而行動：守護故事。作者以平實卻深刻的文字，描寫人們在災後攜手重建的過程；插畫則以溫潤色調呈現火光與希望的交錯。這是一部關於記憶、社群與書的力量的動人繪本，提醒我們：圖書館不只是建築，更是連結人心的所在。In this stunning and uplifting true story of community, a neighborhood comes together in the wake of a library fire to save the stories within, offering a timely reminder of the essential role libraries and books play in our communities. A library is a keeper of stories. A keeper of memories. A keeper of hope. But what happens when that keeper is threatened? When a fire broke out at New York's Jewish Theological Seminary library in 1966, firefighters raced to the rescue. But by the end of the day, thousands of books had been turned to ashes and the ones that remained were on the brink of ruin. The community was devastated. Would the priceless stories in those waterlogged pages be lost forever? Or could helping hands from every background and corner of the neighborhood come together to become keepers of stories

Once upon a time, all the books in the world were manufactured at one place--the Story Factory! The workers at the story factory know exactly what it takes to make a book: characters, a plot, vocabulary, and punctuation. All the same elements are used over and over again, and everything has a precise order. Nothing new or original is ever added to the stories--that is, until the day the factory suddenly stops producing books. The workers must locate and remove the clog in the machinery, and what they find may just change the way they make books forever. With fun and wonderfully intricate illustrations, Jam Dong's charming story is a joyful ode to the imagination and to what it is that makes books so special.
