內容簡介

改編自傳奇作家 E.B.懷特(E. B. White)於 1928 年發表於《The New Yorker》雜誌的經典詩作,這篇深具靈氣的作品如今首次以繪本形式呈現於世人眼前。由兩度獲得凱迪克榮譽獎(Caldecott Honor)的知名插畫家梅莉莎.斯威特(Melissa Sweet)傾心繪製,將夜色、自然與一隻失眠鴨子的奇幻遭遇,化為令人屏息的視覺饗宴。


我是多麼驚喜地發現,


有一隻鴨子竟然和我一樣清醒。


早已過了入睡時刻,兩個徹夜未眠的身影,在紐約中央公園的水庫旁一遍又一遍地漫步徜徉。究竟是怎樣的憂愁與奇蹟,讓牠們在如此深夜依然清醒?這本書是一封獻給都市角落自然奇景的深情情書,見證了想像力的無邊力量,更是撫慰所有夜深難眠讀者的心靈靈藥。


Even the most restless reader will find peace and quiet in this breathtakingly illustrated book about the magic of nature, nighttime, and a duck who can’t sleep, based on a poem by the renowned E.B. White which was published in The New Yorker in 1928 and now appears for the first time in book form.


How surprised I was to see


A duck as wide awake as me.


Long past bedtime, two creatures sleeplessly wander around and around the reservoir in New York’s Central Park. What woes and wonders keep them awake so late?

Based on a poem originally published in The New Yorker by the legendary author E.B. White, and marvelously illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honoree Melissa Sweet, the book you hold is a love letter to nature in unlikely places, a testament to the power of imagination, and a balm to restless readers everywhere.

各界推薦

「沉睡者醒來吧。這是一部對夜醒漫遊進行極致優雅與愉悅探索的作品。懷特絕妙靈動的文字,讓這場簡單的相遇充盈著探索的驚奇。斯威特展現出非凡的天賦,將原本並非專為兒童創作的詩歌,轉化為年輕讀者完全能夠親近、甚至沉迷其中的動人繪本。」—《Kirkus Reviews》(柯克斯書評)

"Sleepers awake. An uncommonly pleasing consideration of wakeful wanderings. White’s delicious language infuses this simple encounter with wonder. Sweet has a true talent for presenting poems that were never originally intended for children as entirely accessible, even enticing, to young readers." - Kirkus Reviews
