九子生龍（The Nine Monsters' Dragon Charade）
《九子生龍》：當誤會成就傳說，一條龍的誕生故事
你可曾想過，龍這樣一個神秘又威嚴的存在，會不會其實是個誤會的產物？在我們的全新繪本《九子生龍》中，這個幽默又富想像力的問題，變成了一則精彩動人的故事。故事從一場混亂開始——九種叢林動物因一場誤會而四處逃竄，在原始人類的追趕下，它們驚慌地擠作一團。在火光搖曳中，這團混亂的動物投下了栩栩如生的黑影——那竟是一條龍的形狀！這個畫面，成為龍圖騰傳說的起點。這本書不僅是一個關於「龍」的起源奇想，更是一場藝術與幽默的結合。
每一頁都是一幅藝術作品
作者運用傳統版畫技法，以刻刀逐一刻製圖像，再透過高質素的數位還原與印刷，將粗獷與細膩完美結合。畫面層次分明、節奏強烈，讓整本書充滿戲劇張力，也讓每一頁都成為值得細細觀賞與收藏的藝術品。
不只是童書，更是創意閱讀與藝術啟蒙
《九子生龍》適合5歲以上兒童親子共讀，也同樣能吸引喜歡藝術繪本與神話故事的讀者。它橫跨了藝術、文化、教育三個領域，既有趣味，也有深度。無論你是書店經營者、藝術教育者，還是單純喜愛繪本的讀者，我們都誠摯推薦你翻開這本書，與我們一起重新思考：傳說，會不會其實就是人類誤解的藝術？
《The Nine Monsters' Dragon Charade》： Nine Beasts. One Shadow. The Birth of a Dragon.
Have you ever wondered if legends are sometimes born... by accident?
In our newest picture book, The Birth of the Dragon (九子生龍), a humorous misunderstanding gives rise to one of the most enduring symbols in Eastern mythology—the dragon.It all starts with chaos. Nine very different jungle creatures—each with their own quirks—are startled by early humans. In a frenzy, they clump together, forming an enormous shadow under the flickering firelight. To those watching, it looks like… a dragon. And so, the legend begins.This is not just a story about dragons. It’s a tale of imagination, coincidence, and how stories take shape.
Traditional Printmaking Meets Modern Storytelling
Every image in the book is hand-carved by the artist using traditional printmaking techniques. The textures, layers, and dramatic pacing give each page the feel of a miniature artwork. With high-resolution reproduction and premium printing, the visual experience is both powerful and unique.
A Picture Book for All Ages
Although it’s perfect for children ages 5 and up, The Birth of the Dragon also speaks to parents, art lovers, and anyone fascinated by mythology. It’s a book that crosses boundaries—between art, culture, and creative education—and invites readers to reflect on how legends may be shaped by imagination, fear, or even… misunderstanding.Whether you’re a bookstore curator, an art educator, or just someone who loves a good origin story, we invite you to discover The Birth of the Dragon and join us in rethinking the roots of myth.
