Original Title 阿婆的空中菜园 Text & illustrations by 唐唯 (Tang Wei) Pages 32 Age 3+ Published Poplar | 21st Publishing House January 2019 Sold German
Grandma lives in a big city but she has to stay busy. She has this little garden on the roof of her apartment and plants various vegetables. The building itself is cold and gray, but with grandma there it becomes a vivid and fun place to live.

在闹市里,住着一位闲不住的阿婆,她在城市的钢筋水泥之上,开辟出一个空中菜园,种出红艳艳的西红柿、白生生的大萝卜、水灵灵的小白菜……还捎带着喂鸡、喂鹅,冰冷坚硬的楼顶,在她的双手改造下,呈现出了勃勃的生机。作者塑造了一个与众不同的阿婆形象,将亲情、环保等元素融合在一个朗朗上口的歌谣故事中,画面设计感强烈,让人印象深刻。
一本培养孩子热爱生活,亲近自然的绘本! 家有一老,如有一宝!跟阿婆一起,分享快乐,收获幸福!
“《阿婆的空中菜园》故事温馨讨喜,歌谣式的文字,朗读起来韵味十足; 画面的细节丰富,除了文字故事主线之外,读图也能读出很多趣味。譬如,可以从故事开头到结尾贯穿全局的黑猫视角,读出另一个故事。还有书中配角与路人的眼神、动作,甚至是鸡只、蔬菜,都好有戏。对于年幼的孩子来说,光是这些元素,就可以反复指认、朗读很多遍。”— 台东大学儿童文学研究所现任所长 游珮芸
