书籍简介

《纽约时报》畅销书作家希拉·赫蒂和著名插画家埃斯梅·夏皮罗关于失去和它留下的重大问题的温柔而感人的图画书。

两只兔子和一只猫在一个美丽的花园里幸福地生活在一起。但是当大兔子去世时，小兔子不知道如何填补她留下的空白。一个奇怪的梦促使她开始提问：为什么我们所爱的生物必须死去，我们死后会去哪里？生活怎么会这样？在猫的智慧引导下，小兔子知道想念一个人是一种让他们靠近的方法。他们一起发现大兔子是他们周围一切的一部分——草、空气、树叶——因为世界是一个生物花园。

凭借其沉思的文字、可爱的插图和肯定生命的信息，A Garden of Creatures 揭示了即使在黑暗的时代，大自然的相互联系和友谊的甜蜜也可以成为温暖的拥抱。

A tender and deeply moving picture book about loss and the big questions it leaves behind from New York Times bestselling author Sheila Heti and acclaimed illustrator Esmé Shapiro.

Two bunnies and a cat live happily together in a beautiful garden. But when the big bunny passes away, the little bunny is unsure how to fill the void she left behind. A strange dream prompts her to begin asking questions: Why do the creatures we love have to die, and where do we go when we die? How come life works this way? With the wisdom of the cat to guide her, the little bunny learns that missing someone is a way of keeping them close. And together they discover that the big bunny is a part of everything around them -- the grass, the air, the leaves -- for the world is a garden of creatures.
