Draw Me a Star

　　畫家的彩筆可以繪出一整個世界嗎？

　　畫一顆星星吧！星星出現了。然後，星星說：「畫一個太陽給我，好嗎？」畫家的筆於是將太陽熾熱的光引到天上。接著，是樹木、人們、和溫暖的家。倘若畫筆能夠一筆一筆地勾勒出呼吸著的大地與擁抱依附大地的生命，那麼一顆一顆游移的心就能得到安慰。我們可以感覺到：自己與所有其它的生命都在同一片天空下行走，並且憩息。

Draw me a star. And the artist drew a star. It was a good star. Draw me a sun, said the star. And the artist drew a sun. And on the artist draws, bringing the world to life picture by beautiful picture until he is spirited across the night sky by a star that shines on all he has made. In Draw Me a Star, Eric Carle celebrates the imagination in all of us with a beguiling story about a young artist who creates a world of light and possibility.
