本書特色

★ 一系列充滿寓意的兒童情緒與心理繪本，透過圖像與色彩的運用，讓讀者融入故事裡：作者慧黠的把煩惱視覺化，封面上一朵宛若雲朵外形的煩惱形象，隨著時間流逝愈變愈大，大到占據了半輛校車和一大半電影院的空間，大到露比再也沒辦法思考任何其他事，讓讀者的情緒也跟著露比慢慢變得灰暗、悲觀。
 
★ 在成長的過程中，孩子會逐漸遭遇各式各樣不容易用語言清楚表達的情緒與感受： 《露比的煩惱》正是這樣一部題材貼近生活，視覺表達溫暖、俏皮又容易理解的可愛作品。我們清楚看見露比如何初次察覺她的生活中出現了煩惱。她一開始不以為意，後來卻漸漸被煩惱的力量牽制，整個頭腦裡只剩下擔心。家長與老師們，如果能適時與孩子共讀相關的故事，便更能從與孩子們的討論與互動中，理解彼此各種細膩的感受
 
★ 作者Tom Percival是一名作家、藝術家、影片製作人及音樂人，曾創作多部繪本，期待透過這一系列的兒童心理繪本，讓孩子與家長共同閱讀，為孩子建立健全正向的心理發展。

Tom Percival had an unconventional childhood in a remote and beautiful part of South Shropshire and these formative years are almost certainly what first got him interested in writing and drawing.

Tom is now a writer, artist, video producer and musician. He is the author of many bestselling picture books, including the six titles in his award-winning Big Bright Feelings for Bloomsbury (Perfectly Norman, Ruby's Worry, Ravi's Roar, Meesha Makes Friends, Tilda Tries Again and Milo's Monster). He lives in Gloucestershire with his partner, their two children and a dog called Luna.
