中文简介：

安徒生获奖作者Roger Mello带来了一个复杂而精致的故事，讲述了睡前恐惧如何转化为奇妙的梦境和神奇的冒险。

若昂躺在精心编织的被子里问自己：现在只有我了？他蜷缩着身子，舒适地躺在床上，很快，他的梦想世界就在纸上展开了。床上的毯子解开变成了深邃的河流、湖泊、山谷、水库、山脉、满是蝌蚪和缺口的渔网，直到只剩下一根长长的线。

当他在黑暗中感到孤独和恐惧时，若昂像拼布一样把文字缝成一条新毯子盖在身上。他把被子的线编织起来，直到它们形成一个长长的句子，很快，夜色中就出现了他编织的银色的、滑溜溜的文字。Roger Mello的画就像一个变形金刚——看他的插图总是能看到你之前错过的东西（一条黄貂鱼，一弯新月依偎在若昂的手掌上）。他令人叹为观止的线描，在深红色的衬托下闪烁着白线的光芒，结合诗意的语言，让这本书成为理想的睡前阅读书。

An intricate and exquisite tale of how bedtime fears can be transformed into wondrous dreams and magical adventures, by Hans Christian Andersen award–winning Roger Mello

As João tucks under a lovingly woven quilt, he asks himself: So it's just me now? He curls up, getting cozy in bed, and soon the world of his dreams unspools on the page. The blanket in his bed unravels into deep rivers, lakes, valleys, reservoirs, mountain ranges, fishing nets full of tadpoles and gaping holes, until what's left is just one long thread.

When he feels alone and scared in the dark, João "sews words like patchwork" into a new blanket to cover himself up. He weaves the threads of his quilt until they form one long sentence, and soon, the nighttime is peppered with his own silvery, slippery words. Roger Mello draws like a shapeshifter – to look at his illustrations is always to see something you missed before (a stingray, a crescent moon nestled into the palm of João's hand). His breathtaking line drawings, beaming in white thread against deep red, combined with poetic and bewildered language, make João by a Thread a book to take into bed at the edge of sleep, just before you start to dream
