“The pandemic has highlighted that home - whether we have one or not- is the most important place on earth. Lin Lian-En’s much-needed book Home is an exquisitely produced poetic consideration of space. From the rounded corners of the book to the cardboard covers and thoughtful understated use of endpapers, the book makes full use of material elements to create an inviting rich space that can be revisited endlessly… just like home. “ — Jury of Ragazzi Award
The sun goes up. The city wakes up. This is our home where we live in.
There are mountains, seas and bridges that connect the cities and the villages.
There are stories goes on one by one in the city. Some stories that you might know, some might be new that you've never expected and experienced. The stories are on quietly and noisily in the city every day.
A transcendent work by the awarding author Lin Lian-An. From the eye of a little bird, Lin masterfully combine the ordinary life and the beautiful landscape of the city.
