內容簡介
那裡空無一物，正適合放進可能性
快問快答時間！
牙齒掉落後留下的空位、音符與音符之間的靜默、樹葉和枝幹中間的縫隙，以上三者裡頭都有什麼? 沒錯—空無！
無法感知的、「無」的狀態該怎麼呈現呢？Elizabeth Rusch和Elizabeth Goss這對組合再次聯手，為讀者獻上這本題材新穎且深刻，饒富哲思的繪本。
Goss以其擅長的紙雕藝術，藉風格強烈的負空間與留白，將抽象的「空無」概念，極其巧妙地視覺化，讓讀者在閱讀中體會無的意義與美學，作者Rusch以扼要且平易近人的口吻，向讀者介紹這個看不見、摸不著，乍聽抽象又複雜的概念，引導並鼓勵讀者尋找，並重新觀察生活中不存在，卻又無所不在的無。
正因那裡留下了空位，才有讓創造力住進去的空間。
★閱讀亮點：
■ 透過書末的剪紙活動，動手操作，進一步理解空無與有形
■ 延伸認識藝術裡的負空間，以及少即是多的概念
An artful picture book exploration of negative space and the beauty of nothingness. This mindful meditation encourages children to see the world differently.
Nothing is really something! What might be hidden in the space around things, and how is that space important? In art, this is known as negative space, but “nothing” can be thought of more broadly—as free time during the day or the space between people. When we allow ourselves a moment of nothingness, we make room for creativity and so much more.
