理解並回應恐懼，才能找回勇氣
「要是我勇敢一點就好了。」
「哭泣不代表你就不勇敢。」
與家人歷經戰亂的恐怖記憶，及在新學校遭受的霸凌，潛伏在小兔子的內心深處，每到夜晚便悄悄現身，在腦海反覆重組、播放。
在媽媽溫柔的鼓勵下，「我究竟夠不夠勇敢呢？」小兔子邊質疑著自己，邊猶猶豫豫地說出糾纏著自己的不安與恐懼，並也才逐漸了解到，唯有敞開心房，好好直面並釋放心中的恐懼，而非裝作它不存在，才有將其消化、釋懷的可能。
作者以簡潔而饒富詩意的文字，搭配深沉濃烈的滿版插圖，讀者將同步感受小兔子從壓抑到一步步面對自身恐懼，逐步蓄積勇氣的過程。
與調性趣味歡快的《COLETTE: THE SOLITARY BEE》不同，Jean-François Sénéchal力道強大地刻劃了戰爭及流離帶來的陰影與創傷，同時不減其一貫溫柔筆調，探討了承認且接受恐懼的存在，學習與之共處，才能理解並消化恐懼，並找回繼續前進的力量。
★閱讀亮點：
■ 看繪者Simone Rea如何以無表情的動物配上色彩深沉的背景畫面，營造書中的壓抑感
■ 直面內心的害怕從來不容易。你上一次正視自己的恐懼是什麼時候？

As the son of two teachers, Jean-François Sénéchal grew up around books. After studying anthropology for a time, he ultimately gravitated back to his first love, devoting himself entirely to literature. His stories—exploring societal issues such as exclusion and inequality for audiences of children and adolescents—have garnered him various honors, including the 2017 Joseph S. Stauffer Prize from the Canada Council for the Arts, and a Governor General’s Award for children’s literature. Simone Rea is an accomplished artist and illustrator who creates works for children’s books, magazines, and other publications. A graduate of the Fine Arts Academy in Rome, he has twice been selected for the Bologna Illustrators Exhibition and was awarded a BIB Plaque at the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava. He lives and works in his home municipality of Albano-Laziale, Italy.
