小男孩的風箏不小心卡在樹上,為了拿回風箏,他脫掉鞋子丟了上去!
結果….鞋子也被卡住了…><”
為了救回鞋子,他又丟了另一隻鞋子….結果…風箏和鞋子還是一動也不動的掛在樹上。小男孩就這樣不斷的把東西往樹上丟......貓咪、椅子、腳踏車、甚至房子、大鯨魚、消防車和輪船全卡在樹上。隨著不斷堆疊的情節,大樹在每頁中以不同的顏色呈現,就如同男孩的情緒,不斷地起伏變化著。就在最後,當小男孩耗盡力氣時,風箏卻靜靜輕輕的飄落地面。
作者簡單的插畫線條,傳神的激起讀者內在的感受。
讓我們仔細想想,當我們遇到生活中的小麻煩或是不幸運的事時,是否曾太專注在事情的本身。為了解決問題,大費周章的耗費力氣與時間,並延伸出更多的負面情緒;過於鑽牛角尖卻牽扯出更多的不如意,將自己陷入不可自拔的情緒裡。跳出被卡住的癥結點,會發現原來事情並非想像中的嚴重,世界將再度寬廣美麗~
