這個故事描述一個原本幸福住在房子裡的鬼魂,卻因為有一家人搬進來,而失去了自己的住所。我希望透過這個故事傳達一個訊息:即使某個人與我們不同,我們依然應該給予他們善意與尊重。同時,我也想藉此鼓勵大家思考「流離失所」以及如何共同分享這個稱為「家」的地方。
一本關於「歸屬感」的溫暖繪本,安撫害怕鬼魂的小朋友,也提醒我們要以更多善意對待與自己不同的人。
A beautiful book about belonging, which reassures young children who are afraid of ghosts, and teaches us all to be kinder to others.
Note from the author: After telling my youngest child that ‘Ghosts don’t have to be scary’ countless times, I wanted to challenge the stereotype of a ghost story and spin it so we think of things from the ghost’s perspective: Who are they, where they live and their idea of ‘home’. This story is about a ghost who lived happily in a house but has that taken away from him by a family who want to live there instead. I wanted to share a message that just because someone is different, this doesn’t mean we don’t show kindness and respect to them, I also wanted to encourage a narrative around displacement and sharing this place we call ‘home’.
