我就喜歡這樣的妳

2019年三月間美國疫情爆發，學校停課，圖書館關門，學生其實只能待在家中線上教學，當時，為了讓孩童保持閱讀的習慣，許多圖書館延長借書回家的時間，以及增加能借閱的書籍，而美國的作家們也紛紛利用自媒體，每天利用固定的時間，閱讀一本自己的創作給孩子，並且教導他們如何繪畫等等。Oliver Jeffers 就是其中一個作家，他利用自己的 IG  念故事給孩子聽，非常感人。

回到台灣的時候，剛好接了繪本演講，就把當時利用自媒體閱讀的作家整理起來，跟大家分享，希望愈來愈多人知道那麼棒的作家們。今天先跟大家分享OLIVER JEFFERS 。Oliver Jeffers 是北愛爾蘭人，目前定居在美國。他本身就是個藝術家，所以創作的繪本都很有收藏的價值，如果要討論繪本中的插圖或是圖文關係，她每本都很適合。他創作的故事都是真人真事，除了故事吸引人，他很多本書都有相對應的動畫，網站都有相關的學習單，所以非常適合推廣到國中小唷。

  Here we are 

Insightfully sweet, with a gentle humor and poignancy, here is Oliver Jeffers' user's guide to life on Earth. He created it specially for his son, yet with a universality that embraces all children and their parents. Be it a complex view of our planet's terrain (bumpy, sharp, wet), a deep look at our place in space (it’s big), or a guide to all of humanity (don’t be fooled, we are all people), Oliver's signature wit and humor combine with a value system of kindness and tolerance to create a must-have book for parents.

  the heart and the bottle 

There is a wonder and magic to childhood. We don't realize it at the time, of course . . . yet the adults in our lives do. They encourage us to see things in the stars, to find joy in colors and laughter as we play. But what happens when that special someone who encourages such wonder and magic is no longer around? We can hide, we can place our heart in a bottle and grow up . . . or we can find another special someone who understands the magic. And we can encourage them to see things in the stars, find joy among colors and laughter as they play.
