內容簡介
內容簡介 滴—答，滴答。城市吶喊著，快！快！沒時間了！停不下來！電車隆隆，火車轟轟，一閃而過！街道上只見灰濛濛。寂寞在公園裡自轉。遺失滾到長板凳下。流浪在一旁偷偷哭泣。動彈不得在樹上喵喵叫。城市太忙了，視而不見……匆忙城市的上方，有一雙眼睛正在觀望。還有一雙手知道，讓時鐘停擺的時候到了……每當莉賽兒發現城市皺起了眉頭，就會讓時間停下，到街上去幫個小忙。她會趁城市熟睡時，把色彩、活力和歡樂帶回城市的呼吸和脈動。by 東方出版社The second magical picture book from the author and illustrator of The Night Box.High above the bustle of the city,are eyes that watch, and hands that know,it’s time to pause the clock . . .and for one tiny second between tick and tock, the city stops!Liesel notices the things that everyone else is too busy to see.When she hears a stray whimper and watches a lonely boy on a roundabout, she decides it’s time to pause the clock and lend a helping hand.
