For Kids
 
Have you ever been to the UK?
Do you know where Big Ben is?
 
Maybe you have seen the British Queen, red double-decker buses, or royal guards in tall bearskin caps on TV. Or maybe you have heard stories like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit, Winnie the Pooh, and Harry Potter. Did you know that all of these stories were written by authors from the UK?
 
Many British stories are full of imagination. But have you ever wondered how these stories first began? How do illustrators turn words into pictures? Do you want to know how Taiwanese illustrators observe everyday life, experience the world, and draw the hometown they miss? Le′s explore the stories inside their works together!
 
By the way, do you know why people in Britain love afternoon tea so much? At British afternoon tea, people usually drink black tea! In Britain, drinking tea is not just about having something to drink. It is also a way to chat, share stories, and make friends.
 
Would you like to know more interesting stories about the UK ? Let′s explore pictures and books together and let your imagination soar!

For Parents
 
Before children become familiar with written language, images are often the first language through which they understand the world. Through seeing, imagining, and reading, children gradually build their understanding of their surroundings, emotions, and stories. In this process, they also develop the ability to think and express themselves.
 
British children’s books have long emphasized imagination, humor, and independent thinking. Many classic works do not seek to provide standard answers; instead, they invite readers to ask questions and imagine possibilities. This creative spirit has also profoundly influenced contemporary illustration in Taiwan.
 
Taking British children’s books and illustration as its starting point, this exhibition features Taiwanese illustrators who have studied in the UK. Through visual creation, storytelling, and reading experiences, they lead children to discover how images can become a way of understanding the world.
 
Through original illustration displays, picture book readings, and interactive experiences, children progress from “seeing images” to “entering stories,” “understanding the creative process,” and “expressing themselves.” We hope children will not simply visit the exhibition, but discover in the process: reading is not limited to words; images themselves are a way of reading the world.
