Product Information
抬頭看星空，世界變得好大好大……
《星空》描述了一個關於長大的故事。
有個少女認識了一個不說話的少年，他們都不是最快樂的孩子。
有一天，他們逃離城市，翻山越嶺，來到少女的爺爺曾經住過的山中小屋。
在山裡的夜晚，他們看到了最美麗的星空。
回到城市之後，少女生病了，而少年不知去向……
後來，他們到底有沒有好好兒長成大人呢？
這個故事既單純卻又複雜。它單純，因為這就是一個描述兩個人相遇之後又分開的故事。
但它也複雜，因為這故事會讓讀者把自己放進某個畫面，在某一句話上徘徊，並且回憶起自己的青春——青春是多麼一言難盡的話題，人們不是說得太多而仍然覺得說不清楚，就是找不到適當的語言來描繪因此只能無言以對；我們，總是要到錯過了之後才發現自己其實曾經擁有。這種複雜的層次，來自於讀者的參與，而這正是幾米作品的魅力之一：他在頁面之間留下了縫隙，讓讀者進入，根據自己的經驗把故事「據為己有」。
這一次，在畫面上，除了讀者所熟悉的幾米畫風之外，還有若干大膽的嘗試；至於文字，則更見精簡洗鍊而晶瑩剔透。最終，這是幾米為了好好兒說一個故事所做的努力。長期閱讀幾米作品的讀者，將會在這個歷時三年才完成的長篇故事裡，重新發現繪本的驚人力量。
這本書，獻給所有無法與世界溝通的孩子。

Best-selling Taiwan artist-writer Jimmy Liao's latest illustrated storybook The Starry Starry Night is dedicated to kids who don't know how to communicate with the world, kids like the protagonists of this affecting tale of childhood friendship. The short and sweet story follows a lonely young girl who keeps to herself. She can't share her thoughts and fears with anyone, until the day she meets a boy as stubborn and lonely as her. In comparison to some of Liao's other works, The Starry Starry Night has a less fanciful premise but no less imaginative and spectacular artwork, and certainly no less heartful story. Even more so than his previous books, The Starry Starry Night pulsates with the raw honesty of its young protagonists through less lyrical, more direct passages: "I love Mom, Mom loves me, but I don't understand her, and she doesn't understand me." It's almost uncanny how Liao so poignantly captures the heartbreaking significance of silence at the dinner table, or a phone call in the middle of the night. Young readers can connect with the loneliness, frustration, and fantasy, but adults can read further between the lines and images to memories and times gone by, feelings and experiences never forgotten. The brilliance of Jimmy Liao is his ability to speak to adult hearts through the unhindered imagination and candor of a child's mind. The Starry Starry Night is not a children's book, but rather a precious childhood memory drawn in colorful strokes. A picture is worth a thousand words, and that's true with Liao's works. The Starry Starry Night's simple story and piercing sentiments are easy to understand even without Chinese literacy, and indeed the climax of the book - when the two children run away on a beautiful adventure - is told completely in illustrations. Van Gogh's The Starry Night has meant many things to many people over the years. For Liao, it serves as inspiration for this melancholic memory about that unforgettable summer and its brightest, loneliest starry night. |
