曾經我是一棵樹,現在我是一本「有味道」的書?
整本書以「當事樹」的第一人稱口吻,
傲嬌又幽默地訴說自己這輩子有多麼不容易。
主角曾是一棵帥到不行的樹,
但在「成名」之前,他的成道之路可說是歷經坎坷:
被松鼠吞掉後又「噗噗」地排泄出來
被蒼蠅垂涎舔過
甚至被糞金龜當成球在大地上滾動過...
真的是歷經一番寒徹骨,這顆種子才終於落地生根。
在吸取了日月精華後,好不容易才成就了那一身帥氣的挺拔英姿。
但好景不常,某天他竟莫名被攔腰砍下!
不過,這也算是一種「壯烈成仁」
因為他被製造成了一本書,
也就是你現在手上拿著的這一本。
雖然他不再是那棵英挺帥氣的大樹,
但他依然自豪地宣言:他聞起來還是很香...
而且還是永遠持久的芬芳。
小編覺得這本書最迷人的地方,
在於它用極其荒誕、甚至帶點「味道」的筆觸,
消解了生命教育的嚴肅感。
讓讀者看見那些曾讓人大笑的磨難,
最終都成了生命最深厚的養分。
原來,我們手中握住的每一頁,
都藏著一段如此堅韌又帥氣的奮鬥史。
一顆幽默又愛吐槽的種子,經歷神奇旅程——從小小種子長成大樹,最後竟然變成……你手上的這本書!
過程中,牠遇見了可愛的夥伴:甲蟲Barbara和松鼠Derek,透過「便便的神奇力量」一起幫助種子成長,展開一段又荒謬又有趣的自然循環故事。
這不只是一本書,更是關於「樹木、故事與閱讀」的奇妙連結。翻到最後,你會驚喜發現——原來你正在讀的,就是這段旅程的終點!
幽默風格媲美 Jon Klassen 與 Oliver Jeffers
