這個故事用一頭名叫 Annabelle 的孤單奶牛,溫柔又幽默地帶出了四季更迭與生命循環的主題。
春天,Annabelle 在草地上發現了一朵小花,這份意外的驚喜讓她的步伐多了舞蹈、心情多了笑意。隨著時間過去,小花長高、盛開、顏色漸變,直到秋天來臨,風吹走了所有花瓣。Annabelle 又回到孤單的日子。
然而,故事沒有停在失落——春天再次回來,Annabelle 發現了另一朵花……然後又一朵、再一朵。她明白了,花雖會凋謝,但新的花朵總會回來,生命就是這樣不斷循環。
這是一個關於友誼、失落與希望的故事,透過鮮豔亮眼的色彩和俏皮的文字設計,讓孩子在閱讀時感受四季之美,也悄悄理解時間流轉與生命延續的溫暖道理。
