《放學後的街口事件》是由非裔美國作家傑森·雷諾茲所撰寫，傑森一直致力於為孩童寫作，特別是黑人在美國社群與孩童。書中靈活且鮮明地口吻寫出青少年生活的的各種面向，以一所公立高中為主軸，十個故事、十篇在看似和平的空氣下，有歡笑、有幽默、有頑皮、有惱人、有溫馨、有五味雜陳的放學後的街口趣事，是本非常適合青少年和大人閱讀的小說作品。
很開心能受到小天下出版的邀約，為這本小說繪製台灣版的插畫。在創作期間我獨愛在構圖上的思考和黑白色調的配置，以此去襯托出畫面的主角。另外，如果你仔細觀察，你可以在每個章節找到十輛公車，這輛遊走在故事裡的公車就像是以旁觀者的讀者般，置身其中卻也置身其外。希望你們喜歡這樣的呈現!
"Look both ways" is written by Jason Reynolds who devoted himself in writing history of racism for kids as a bard of Black YA fiction.
There are ten chapters with ten storylines leading up to a joint end which was particularly inspiring in terms of the way we read and think.
The traditional Chinese copy is out yesterday published by Commonwealth publishing Taiwan 小天下. I was honored to be able to illustrate this book and had so much fun of making the artwork. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
