本書由《紐約時報》暢銷第一名、凱迪克榮譽獲獎作家 Christian Robinson 創作,他以極簡卻充滿情感張力的敘事聞名,是當代最具代表性的童書創作者之一。Christian Robinson 擅長用「少字但深意」的文字,搭配強烈構圖與色塊拼貼風格,讓畫面本身就能說故事。本書繪圖延續他一貫的特色,以柔和色調、剪貼感線條與童趣構圖呈現不同家庭中的「爸爸形象」,不追求寫實,而是用象徵與情緒傳遞溫度。每一頁都像一幅充滿呼吸感的插畫,讓讀者在視覺停留中感受親子之間的連結。文字與圖像之間保留大量留白,使閱讀節奏更慢、更溫柔,也讓孩子能自由解讀畫面情緒。這種「視覺敘事大於文字敘事」的風格,使本書不只是故事,更是一場關於愛與陪伴的視覺體驗。
Dad is strong.
Dad is sweet.
Dad dreams of watching you grow…
There are as many ways to be a dad as there are dads in the world. Dad is a big-hearted love letter to all of them, reflecting the range of relationships that dads, both animal and human, have with their little ones.
Dad is destined to be a classic, an evergreen gift for new fathers, and one of those rare picture books that resonates with every reader at any age.
The perfect gift for baby showers, Father’s Day, or all year round!
