美國重量級兒童文學作家留給孩子最溫馨的睡前讀物
12位最受歡迎的插畫家編織12首優美如詩的搖籃曲
美國重要的兒童文學先驅瑪格麗特.懷茲.布朗曾經在1952年寫下多首迷人的搖籃曲,在她離世後一直未有機會出版。因緣際會下,出版人Amy Gary與這疊閣樓裡泛黃的手稿相遇,接下來的三年中,她找來十二位屢獲大獎肯定的插畫家共同參與創作,與瑪格麗特雋永的歌謠結合成《Goodnight Songs》這部意義非凡的全彩繪本。
參與此書的插畫家包括《紐約時報》暢銷童書作者Carin Berger、代表作是《Puff, the Magic Dragon 》的作家Eric Puybaret、榮獲史考特‧金恩榮譽獎的Sean Qualls與凱迪克獎得主Melissa Sweet等。由Emily Gary和Tom
Prout譜唱的優美旋律就在隨書附的CD裡,輕快地陪伴孩子們一起進入甜美的夢鄉。(文/博客來編譯)
