A Happy Place

 
　　小男孩將手伸向窗戶上閃閃發亮的星星，星星低聲呢喃：「跟我來，我帶你去一個快樂的地方」，於是小男孩緊緊握住星星，離開家，越過河流，攀過山丘，進入神秘的魔法森林。
 
　　粉色和藍色的煙霧圍繞著月亮剪影，松鼠、野兔在月下翩翩起舞，他們一起唱歌、玩耍，直到累了。這時星星低聲說：「該回家囉」。但小男孩真的離開過自己的被窩嗎？只有星星知道答案。
 
　　這本迷人的繪本由屢屢獲獎的作家兼插畫家布麗塔．泰肯特拉普（Britta Teckentrup）創作，帶領讀者踏上一場激發想像力的神奇月光之旅。書頁特殊的鏤空設計，讓神奇的魔境看起來更加真實，沉靜朦朧的色調，加上柔和的顏色點綴，讓神秘的黑夜顯得輕柔而舒適，邀請讀者一同進入最甜美的夢鄉。
