 　　這本充滿魅力的繪本書，有一個很簡單的開始：夜晚，媽媽唸書給小女孩聽，小女孩很快地睡著了。接下來連續幾頁，場景就像透過廣角相機拍攝一樣，逐步向外，讀者看到孩子的家、越來越多鄰居，在滿天星空之下，還能看到鄰居舉杯慶祝、有人開心聚餐、母親懷抱著嬰兒、藝術家正在作畫，甚至，有人正進行一場可以激勵藝術家創作一本書的冒險！
 
 　　這本繪本，就像夜空一樣神奇，隨著阿根廷插畫家Mariana Ruiz Johnson的筆觸，一起發現夜晚的秘密吧！（文／博客來編譯）

　　While you are sleeping, does the rest of the world sleep, too?

　　Not everyone.

　　In this dreamy book, which won the 2015 Silent Book Contest at the prestigious Bologna Children's Book Fair, Mariana Ruiz Johnson conjures up the ordinary yet extraordinary world outside the window of a sleeping child. Some people are working. Some people are eating. Some are walking their dogs, others are watching the stars. And some are setting off on an adventure that might inspire an artist to create a book. As magical as the night sky, readers will return to Mariana Ruiz Johnson's illustrations again and again, finding new stories each time they visit.

Mariana Ruiz Johnson is the daughter of two book illustrators. After graduating from art school, she decided to pursue an illustration career as well. She lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
