See You Someday Soon

 
　　一對分隔兩地的祖孫，孩子非常渴望見到奶奶。於是孩子開始思考，他可以打電話、傳視訊或是寫信跟奶奶聯繫，他可以透過這些方式看見奶奶生活中的一切——她的貓咪、剛煮好的晚餐、奶奶種的花……或是乾脆搭火車、坐飛機、跳上火箭，他甚至還想像著把自己折疊起來塞進信封裡，只要奶奶一打開信封，就可以馬上見到她！儘管現在還沒辦法擁抱奶奶，但只要持續寫信、打電話，一直堅持下去，見面的那天很快就會到來！
 
　　獲選為芝加哥公共圖書館年度最佳童書《善良》（Be Kind）的作者帕特．澤特羅．米勒（Pat Zietlow Miller）在這本書裡以第一人稱的寫作方式，描述孩子對奶奶的想念和祖孫之間溫暖動人的親情。充滿感情而深刻的文字，提醒我們無論距離多遙遠，我們關心的人永遠不會從我們心中淡去。知名韓國藝術家蘇西．李（Suzy Lee）以大膽的色塊為底，充滿童趣的黑色線條勾勒出人物與故事主體，不斷變化的底色使頁面上的顏色成為視覺亮點，鏤空設計使讀者在翻頁時能驚喜一瞥主角的面孔，為閱讀體驗增添視覺樂趣。

Someday soon, I’ll see you.
Even though you are there.
And I am here.
So very far apart.
