湖畔的夏天,Mo和哥哥Bibi最期待的,就是一起仰望天空,看燕子一隻隻飛回熟悉的家。那是屬於他們的幸福時光。然而,有一天,Bibi也像燕子一樣,必須遠行去工作。臨別前,他溫柔地告訴Mo:「當你看到燕子飛翔,就想著我也在同一片天空下。」
從此,Mo每天抬頭望著天空,想像哥哥飛越城市、海洋與高山,努力朝家的方向前進。雖然分離讓人想念,但燕子的遷徙也帶來希望——因為牠們總會回來。
這是一個溫柔而充滿力量的故事,陪伴孩子理解離別與等待,並相信,不論距離多遠,愛終將帶人回家。
Bibi and Mo love to watch the first swallows arriving home to their lake in the summer. But soon, just like the swallows, Bibi has to go north for work. He tells Mo to think of him flying with the birds, and just like the swallows, when summer comes again, he will journey across the cities, oceans, grasslands and jungle, and over the tops of the mountains back to Mo.
Featuring a non-fiction section all about the migration of swallows, this comforting and sensitively told story is perfect for children whose loves ones have to stay away from home sometimes.
