在一座被戰火染紅的城市裡,小女孩蹲在最後一片花園裡,輕輕撫摸著嫩綠的葉子。
街道上空空如也,家家窗戶緊閉,大家都離開了。小女孩知道,終有一天,她也得離開。
花園變得孤單,但生命的力量卻沒有消失。微風拂過,花園裡的種子飛散到城市的每個角落,落在裂縫、屋頂、廢墟之間。
慢慢地,根在黑暗中紮下,嫩芽勇敢地探出頭來,像是在告訴世界:希望還在。
《最後的花園》靈感來自敘利亞真實故事,以及世界各地歷史上的「戰爭花園」。
這本溫柔而深刻的繪本,帶孩子們看見:即使在恐懼與離別之中,生命仍能找到生長的勇氣。
它提醒我們,愛與關懷就像花園的種子,無論困境多深,都能生根、發芽,讓希望再次綻放。
In a war-torn city, a little girl tends to the last garden. But everyone is leaving and soon the girl has to leave too. The garden is all alone now but soon the seeds scatter throughout the city and the roots take hold.
Inspired by true events in Syria and war gardens around the world and throughout history, The Last Garden is a thoughtful, tender story of hope, touching on issues of conflict and migration, from a talented debut picture book pairing.
