只要耐心守候,總有美好會發生!
★曾兩度入選「波隆納世界插畫大展」、臺灣繪本創作者吳欣芷2023年新作
喧囂的城市中,一隻不愛嬉鬧、只熱愛園藝的小狗,日復一日悉心照料著她的小花園。一個害羞的小男孩坐在角落裡,安靜地用畫筆捕捉這美麗的畫面。種子和植物,讓兩個同樣內向安靜的個體,慢慢靠近彼此……他們逐漸發現,原來友誼如花園一樣,悉心守護、耐心等待,就會從厚實的泥地中生長出美好景象,原來一切等待都值得。
本書作者Cindy Wume(吳欣芷)是來自臺灣的新生代插畫/繪本創作者,作品兩度入選插畫界奧斯卡「波隆納世界插畫大展」。她擅長以代針筆、沾水墨筆、不透明水彩及色鉛筆等混合媒材,描繪生活中細微美好的事物,線條充滿情感。其作品陸續在英國、美國和加拿大出版,代表作有《呼嚕呼嚕的書店小貓》(The Bookshop Cat)、《世界上最美的聲音》(Best Sound in the World)、《餃子十兄弟》(Ten Little Dumplings)等。
吳欣芷覺得畫畫是最美好的事。喜愛動物、也熱愛植物的她,以俏皮具朝氣的線條筆觸、溫暖的色彩,繪出《園丁小花狗》(The Gardening Dog)關於友情的溫馨故事,如同故事中美麗有活力的社區花園,洋溢著生命力和幸福的感受。(文/博客來編譯)
