书籍简介

大家都知道，山洞里住着一只凶猛的巨魔。

“请别打扰我！” 它喊道。

所以每个人都这么做了。

只有一个孩子无法在操场边缘背对巨魔。 有一天，他拿着粉笔来到了洞口。 他画了一朵花，每片花瓣都涂上了颜色，然后把粉笔留在了后面。 第二天，花就完成了。 日复一日，男孩和巨魔完成了彼此的画作，直到他们各自画了一幅肖像，画上一个男孩与一个凶猛而可怕的巨魔手牵着手。 “但你不是巨魔，”男孩说。 “你是个男孩——就像我一样。”

耐心、善良和艺术的力量最终获胜：两个男孩无言地走到了一起。 很快，所有其他孩子都聚集在一起加入游戏。 每个人都忘记了洞穴里有一个巨魔。 因为洞外，可画的东西太多了。

这个感人的故事在面对孤独和困难的情绪时展现了善良、艺术和想象力的力量，微妙地体现了艺术治疗的哲学。 屡获殊荣的艺术家大卫·利奇菲尔德 (David Litchfield) 的插画出自《悲伤庇护所》背后的创意二人组之手，为安妮·布斯 (Anne Booth) 创作的这个充满希望和友谊的温柔故事带来了生机和色彩。 这些美丽、有质感的插图也是对路面艺术的一次欢乐庆祝，肯定会让小孩子们伸手去拿自己的粉笔。

Everybody knew that a big fierce troll lived in the cave.

"Leave me alone!" it yelled.

So everybody did.

Only one child cannot turn their back on the troll at the edge of the playground. One day, he takes his chalks up to the mouth of the cave. He draws a flower with every petal coloured in but one, and leaves the chalk behind. The next day, the flower has been completed. Day-by-day, the boy and the troll finish each other's drawings, until they each draw a portrait, showing a boy holding hands with a fierce, scary troll. "But you're not a troll," says the boy. "You're a boy - just like me."

Patience, kindness and the power of art win out in the end: the two boys wordlessly draw together. Soon all the other children gather to join in with the game. Everyone forgets that there was a troll inside the cave. Because outside the cave, there is so much to draw.

This touching story shows the power of kindness, art and imagination, in the face of isolation and difficult emotions, and delicately embodies the philosophy of art therapy. From the creative duo behind A Shelter for Sadness, award-winning artist David Litchfield's illustrations bring life and colour to this gentle tale of hope and friendship by Anne Booth. The beautiful, textured illustrations are also a joyful celebration of pavement art that is sure to have little ones reaching for their own chalks.
