　　我要搬家了，新家很冷，冬天那裡的湖泊會結冰。
　　我希望奶奶也能一起搬去，但奶奶想留在溫暖的老家。
 
　　今天，我去奶奶的裁縫室找她，
　　我幫她畫了張地圖，希望她能找到我，
　　我還幫奶奶折了一架紙飛機，希望她能飛來找我。
 
　　奶奶說就算距離很遠也不用擔心，
　　奶奶跟我之間有一條世界上最長、最強韌的線，聯繫著我們，
　　只要有愛，我們就不需要說再見……
 
　　《Longest Strongest Thread》一書以淡淡的色彩、極輕的筆觸，畫出祖孫之間的濃厚情感。面對即將而來的分離，透過孩子的純真視角，細細描繪百般不捨的思念與對下次再見的期盼。簡單而雋永，撫慰每個因別離而深深思念的心。

　　A beautifully subtle and reassuring look at the anxiety that moving from one home to a new one can bring, as well as a celebration of the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren.

　　The little girl in this story is moving with her parents to a new, colder country very far away. She loves visiting her Grandmas sewing studio and watching her make things, and is worried about leaving Grandma behind. As the girl makes a toy aeroplane and a map so that her Grandma can come and visit her in the new country, Grandma is busy making a coat to keep her Grandchild warm.
