內容簡介
從圖樣到生活—藏在萬物裡的美麗規律
我們的大腦喜歡尋找規律，這些重複與交替，讓我們能預期即將發生的事。題材向來創新又深具啟發性的《All About Noticing Series》繪本系列，本次以”Pattern”為主題，探索建構我們日常生活的各種「模式」。
重複且具規律性的排列，便是「模式」，各種形態的模式組成了我們的生活，它在音樂與藝術中現身，也能在數學與圖像中尋得。有些作為圖案與花樣，肉眼可見：如地貌及花紋設計；有些出現在音樂中反覆出現的結構：如歌曲的旋律和節奏；有些則就在你身上！你行走時的動作、你的生活作息、乃至家庭組成的狀態，都是一組模式。
有時，當特定的模式被打破，可能令人感到混亂不安。規律固然帶來安定，但變化未必是樁壞事，同時也預示了新模式誕生的可能性，也許，只有當既有的穩定規律被改變，才能讓人找到下一個想要重複的模式呢！

An enlightening picture book exploration about how patterns fill and shape our everyday lives. This mindful meditation challenges kids to see the world differently.
What do you know about patterns? There are simple alternating patterns and more complex ones that spin and spread out. There are patterns in stories and patterns in music. When you dance, you're making patterns with your whole body.
You might even notice a comforting pattern to your day. When that pattern is broken, everything can feel chaotic. But sometimes breaking a pattern can make room for a new one worth repeating!
A thought-provoking and visually stunning exploration of the math, art, and emotion of patterns.
Series Overview: The All About Noticing series inspires kids to see the world differently! Each book explores how art elements like negative space, color, and pattern play unexpected roles in our everyday lives.
