內容簡介
內容簡介 男孩走在田野中,燕子叫住他,並丟下一顆種子。 這顆神奇種子漸漸長大,男孩也是。樹愈來愈巨大,原本看著樹長大的喜悅,卻變成無法征服、攀爬它的懼怕。 男孩的夢想變得很小很小,疑問卻變得很大很大;曾經想著以後能做什麼事,現在想的卻是做不來的事,他和爸爸的對話也從夢想轉變成一般日常事務。只是一直有個聲音告訴他:「相信自己,你可以做任何事。」 有一天,他真的爬上了這棵巨樹,看見了所有東西。他很害怕,很想下去,很想回家。但眼前的風景和爸爸的話「不要放棄」,給了他持續前進的力量──克服了恐懼,美景就在眼前。 A beautiful picture book about believing in yourself from the author and screenwriter Irena Brignull, with sumptuous illustrations by Richard Jones. A little boy dreams of a world beyond the farm where he lives - a world full of mountain ranges, oceans and cities, where he could do anything. But one day he plants a seed from which doubts start to grow. Instead of thinking of all that he could do, he thinks more of what he could not. Can he overcome his fears and chase his dreams?
