The Paper Bridge

 
　　Anya住在一個紙村莊，村子裡有紙房子、紙樹，還有許許多多小紙人。這裡的居民過著幸福快樂的生活，只怕一件事：每年某個時期，會連續吹五天半的風。有一天，村子突然起風了，但明明還不到風吹的季節啊？小女孩Anya決定去一探究竟。她做出了一道紙橋，跨越兩座山之間的深谷。最後，Anya不但解決了風的難題，還因為這道橋連接起山谷兩邊的村莊，讓以前互不來往的村民能分享彼此擁有的一切。
　　
　　The Paper Bridge是一本精巧的紙工藝書，由來自法國的作者Joelle Veyrenc 和來自寮國的插畫家珊頌．盧堤納凡（Seng Soun ratanavanh）聯手創作，透過精細的剪、折、組裝，創造出立體場景。故事像一則寓言，讓讀者在每一頁的細節上停留，細細品味精緻的紙藝創作。這本書同時也帶讀者們思考，一個地區的作為會如何影響其他地方，傳遞氣候變遷的概念，也讓我們思考如何為守護環境做出努力。

A modern fairy tale of a brave child who must save her village, illustrated with incredible paper-cut kirigami scenes.

Anya lives in a paper village, among delicate paper trees and paper houses, where the people are paper-light. When dangerous winds blow through the village of Paperlee, Anya crafts a kirigami paper bridge to cross the chasm to meet the strangers who live there and discover how to save her home.
