After Ariel Liu had twins, she did not have time to continue her career as a makeup artist. So she combined her new parenting experience and drawing skills, which she had refined while getting her art degree at University, into an endearing debut book which tells the story of a mother and father who get more than twice as much as they bargained for with twins of their own. Her restrained illustrations focus on bringing to life this modern-day fable where a family learns important lessons about love and individuality. This book is perfect to share with a loved child.

佳瑜在繁忙、混亂的育兒日常，收集美好的吉光片羽，勾勒了童趣豐盛的視域，引領讀者一同進入刺蝟家族的生活風景──這有趣的繪本，訴說著一位母親的幽默與滿溢的愛。

作者領受育兒挑戰，也鍛鍊出智慧化解難題。母親，如同花園的園丁，在呵護幼苗成長茁壯的生命旅程中，不斷地生命問答：如何陪伴、支持孩子成為自己？如何找到生命的任務？是把玫瑰花培育成為向日葵？還是護持玫瑰種子長成健康的玫瑰花？這是每位母親的課題……。

對孩子們而言，透過藝術引領他們發現問題、轉化困難，是最自然又不說教的了！富含力量的故事，更可以帶引孩子，展開親子對話。佳瑜的作品就是這樣的繪本──成人讀者走進孩子的世界，也與內在的過往的小小孩相遇，與眼前的孩子親子共享。真心推薦，邀請您與孩子一同進入這愛與色彩編織的童話世界。

繪本是跟孩子溝通的工具。想告訴孩子的道理，用圖文更勝於口頭說教，潛移默化影響孩子的思考，經由練習可以得到正向反饋。

孩子們的日常爭吵想必是每個父母頭痛的課題，藉由「刺蝟兄弟吵架了」看看要怎麼引導孩子們接受及尊重每一個都很特別的生命。

佳瑜的插畫總是伴隨著溫暖的陽光氛圍，可愛的動植物造型讓人感到喜愛。使用色鉛筆作畫慢慢堆疊細膩和諧的畫面，配合故事發展構圖也有不同的變化，閱讀時增加更多樂趣。
