光和影、色彩及大自然共同演出一場層次豐富的感官探索之旅,打開心和眼,觀察顏色以千變萬化的形式展現在大自然中,並感受太陽孕育生命萬物的力量。透過書頁鏤空的特殊設計,結合流動的光線和角度的改變,不管是孩子還是大人,都能在翻頁之間,享受不可思議的美感體驗帶來的滿足,啟發對色彩和生命的嶄新思考。
翻開頁面,純白的紙面上用詩句般的文字描述太陽。書上寫著,太陽「溫暖了天空,擁抱了大地」,太陽還「啜飲海水,製造雨滴」,並「照亮了夜空中的月亮」。太陽有時像是張牙舞爪的火焰,有時像是深沉的藍色海洋,不管是哪一種面貌,太陽對地球來說都是不可或缺的生命之源。
在You Are Light書中,每頁皆有鏤空的各色圓形光環圍繞著太陽,對著光源,讀者會驚嘆每翻動一次頁面,就能混合出不同的色彩光線,讓這本書充滿了神秘感。此外,書中雋永的詩句則帶給人們不同的思考,讚嘆太陽為生命帶來一切有形或無形的變化。
「這光就是你,而你就是光明。」這本書提供了豐富的觸覺遊戲空間,也保留了讓你深思熟慮的機會,故事簡單卻韻味深遠。
「You Are Light以簡單的方式探討複雜的概念,故事簡單卻很有深度。」——《學校圖書館雜誌》(School Library Journal)
With a wondrously simple die-cut book, the Caldecott Honor–winning creator of the Journey trilogy brings his talents further into the light.
This is the light that brings the day.
Open this beautiful book to find a graphic yellow sun surrounded by a halo of bright die-cut circles. Now hold the page up to the light and enjoy the transformation as the colors in those circles glow. In an elegant, sparely narrated ode to the phenomenon of light, Aaron Becker follows as light reflects off the earth to warm our faces, draws up the sea to make the rain, feeds all the things that grow, and helps to create all the brilliant wonders of the world, including ourselves.
