這是一本溫柔而強大的繪本,非常適合用來開啟與孩子關於「焦慮」的對話。
「每個人的心裡,是不是都悄悄裝著幾顆沉重的小石頭?
小女孩 Frida 的口袋裡,裝滿了各式各樣的『擔心』。
有的石頭很小,有的卻重得讓她走不動。
直到奶奶出現,教了她一個神奇的魔法——原來,我們不需要隨時背著這些重量。
這本書透過「收集石頭」這個具象的動作,將抽象的「焦慮感」轉化為孩子能理解的視覺比喻。
故事的核心在於奶奶教會莉達如何將那些沉重的擔憂放下,
非常適合家長與面臨焦慮、壓力或過度思考的孩子一起共讀。
書中莉達學到的「巧妙方法」,實際上是在引導孩子練習正念 (Mindfulness) 與情緒分類,
讓他們明白雖然擔憂是正常的,但我們不必隨時隨地背負著它們。
Frida worries all the time. Big worries, small worries, and all-the-time worries. Her worries feel heavy, just like the pebbles she collects every day. Some days, Frida's worries become that only thing she can think about.
But then, one day, her granny teaches her an ingenious way to keep her worries in check-and Frida finally feels the weight of her fears slip away . . .
This sensitively written picture book explores how a young girl learns to manage her worries. Jenny Bloomfield's beautifully observed illustrations bring Frida's feelings and experiences vividly to life.
