內容簡介
歡迎地球新鮮人 奧利佛傑法 父愛噴發 知識類圖畫書初登場
孩子，哈囉！歡迎來到這個美麗的地球。身為資深地球人的我，向你介紹一下，地球主要由兩個部分組成，一個是陸地，一個是海，而你現在所踩踏的是陸地。這裡的生物除了人類，還有動物，他們的形狀、顏色（圓的、長的、彎的、紅的、 黑的、綠的…）和人類大異其趣。他們不會說人類的話，但我們不可因此對動物不友善。這裡有綠地，你可以盡情奔跑，也可以愜意休息。你會看到城市、港灣，上頭有各式各樣的轉動工具：車子、船、飛機…為了世界的繁榮而努力工作著，從東串連到西，從這一洲串連到另一洲，一靜一動，交織成為一種風景！抬頭往上看，你也會看到天空，天空有好多星星和星座，嗯，可能有點複雜，沒關係，等你大了，再去弄明白吧！
《遠在天邊》奧利佛傑法的兒子來到地球2個月，奧利佛以資深地球人的身分，父愛滿滿地為初來乍到的新鮮人，介紹這美麗的地球，算是奇趣幻想大師奧利佛， 關於知識類圖畫書的處女作。他所呈現的世界很豐富但很寧靜，言語間充滿對孩子愛的叮嚀。
Oliver Jeffers, arguably the most influential creator of picture books today, offers a rare personal look inside his own hopes and wishes for his child--and in doing so gifts children and parents everywhere with a gently sweet and humorous missive about our world and those who call it home.
Insightfully sweet, with a gentle humor and poignancy, here is Oliver Jeffers' user's guide to life on Earth. He created it specially for his son, yet with a universality that embraces all children and their parents. Be it a complex view of our planet's terrain (bumpy, sharp, wet), a deep look at our place in space (it’s big), or a guide to all of humanity (don’t be fooled, we are all people), Oliver's signature wit and humor combine with a value system of kindness and tolerance to create a must-have book for parents.
