As a solitary black bird wings its way through the day, little ones are treated to a magnificent flight from one vibrant color to another. Inimitable illustrator Steve Light showcases a new style in this board book for the youngest readers. Children can journey with the graceful black bird and its tiny worm friend past orange leaves, through green grass, onto gray rocks, under pink flowers, and more before coming to rest beneath a brilliant blue moon.

Black Bird, Yellow Sun描繪黑鳥悠遊自在一天的日子。他在樹梢迎向璀璨的黃色晨光，飛入斑斕的褐葉中，在粒粒渾圓的葡萄紫下覓食。接著，隱身入蔥翠綠草間，翱翔在曲折的大紅蛇上，獨步於林立的灰巨陣中，暫留在粉嫩花叢下。最後，伴著蒼茫的藍月，立於枝椏上而眠。作者設計了一個默示的巧思。每一頁都可以看到一隻小小橘色的毛毛蟲伴隨著黑鳥，讓畫面不會那麼形單影隻。僅僅運用三個顏色包裝跨頁的設計，襯托出簡潔的畫面，伴隨短而有力的片語，如Black bird，red snake； black bird, gray rocks, 凸顯黑鳥和周遭顏色的變化。在晨起暮落的世界，不僅有「我」（黑鳥）也有「你」（毛毛蟲）。 --BY 盧雯月教授
