The House with Legs 長腳的房子
By Rachel Chen
◎Taiwan's newest original picture book star, Rachel Chen, with her debut work
◎Winner of the Ministry of Culture New Artist Debut Creation Grant
◎Detailed, child-friendly penmanship, a veranda's perspective soaked in Taiwanese flavor—a special outlook on culture and life that can only belong to Taiwan.
◎Discovering new perspectives and panoramas from seemingly normal and old sights.
◎Highly praised by the following: Yi-Feng Wang, Jia-Lie Ke (author of 繪本教養地圖), Xia Ling, Xiao-Yin Huang (children's literature expert), and Jia-Ling Lai (writer).
My name is "Teng a kha", but some people just call me a veranda. I'm a house with two long legs.
Every day, so, so many people walk by my legs.
I can't go anywhere, but I meet all kinds of people from all walks of life, every single day.
A lady in blue, the young man in glasses, and so, so many motorbikes… Every day is so busy, so interesting!
Have you walked by my legs today, too?
Under the long-legged house, you'll find the memories that we share…
