OPEN A BOOK,OPEN THE WORLD
這是一本兼具藝術美感與生命教育的兒童自然科普繪本。多次獲獎的非虛構童書作家暨攝影師 April Pulley Sayre，透過極具震撼力、清晰且生動的特寫鏡頭，捕捉了一隻青蛙在池塘生態中的日常點滴。
本書跳脫了傳統科普書生硬的生命週期介紹，而是以「青蛙的視角與感官」出發，用富有詩意、簡潔且帶有韻律感的文字，帶領讀者思考：當一隻青蛙是什麼感覺？牠們在浮萍下等待時在想什麼？牠們如何曬太陽、如何觀察世界、如何在水面滑行？這本書不僅能讓孩子觀察到青蛙極其細微的生物結構（如皮膚的質感、眼睛的清澈度），更引導讀者去尊重並同理身邊的小生命，是一本能激發孩子對大自然產生好奇心與敬畏感的傑作。
Being Frog is a captivating non-fiction nature picture book that combines stunning wildlife photography with poetic storytelling. Award-winning author and photographer April Pulley Sayre utilizes breathtaking, crystal-clear, close-up photographs to invite young readers into the quiet, everyday world of a frog living in a pond ecosystem.
Rather than focusing strictly on the standard biological life cycle, the book encourages children to contemplate the sensory experience of "being" a frog. With sparse, rhythmic, and evocative text, it asks readers to wonder: What does a frog feel as it suns itself on a log? What is it tracking with its wide, observant eyes? How does it navigate its watery home? By showcasing the intricate details of the frog's body and its gentle interactions with its environment, this book fosters a deep sense of empathy, curiosity, and respect for the natural world.
