小川洋子，《小鳥》ことり 書封設計
.
「明明是這麼美妙的語言，哥哥卻沒留下任何文字。光用說的就已足夠，不必要寫在紙上，這是他抱持的態度。
反過來說，他在沒有得以連接耳朵與眼睛的記號下，創造出一種語言。以小鳥的鳴唱當範本，哥哥獨自一人，一面發出聲音給自己的耳朵聽，一面把散落在小島上的語言石子一顆顆收進口袋裡，逐步撿拾從小鳥的鳴叫聲中滿溢出的語言結晶。」
.
我記得書中的腳踏車、哥哥的鳴唱、檸檬黃的波波棒棒糖。那我就把祝福給畫出來，送給小鳥叔叔和他的哥哥。他們在那個國度團聚，自由、津津歌唱著。

It's a beautiful language, but my brother didn't leave any words. It was enough just to speak it, not to write it on paper, that was his attitude.
On the contrary, he created a language without a sign to connect the ear to the eye. Using the chirping of birds as a model, the brother, alone, made sounds for his own ears, while collecting one by one the stones of language scattered around the island, gradually picking up the crystals of language that overflowed from the chirping of the birds.
.
I remember the bicycle in the book, his brother's chanting and the lemon yellow bobble lollipop. Then I drew the blessing and gave it to Uncle Birdie and his brother. They are reunited in that realm, free and singing with gusto.
