今天的講者是陳玉金老師，她是資深的圖畫書編輯和作者，主題是知識性繪本。
Today the guest speaker is Ms. Yujin Chen, who is a senior picture book writer and editor. The topic is on non-fiction picture books.
老師帶來了幾本知識性繪本，其中包括日本插畫家加藤亞樹的小小鄰系列，這兩本書─「小小鄰愛種花」〈春〉和「小小鄰愛冒險」〈夏〉，以虛構性角色帶出植物知識，非常討人喜歡。
First of all, Ms. Chen shares some non-fiction picture books with us. Among them are the Little Neighbors series by the Japanese writer and illustrator Kato Aju. The fictional main characters weave the major story plot and knowledge on flowers is introduced in easily understandable and highly enjoyable manners.
老師也帶來了她所撰寫的南科考古系列繪本，並且說明創作過程，令我不禁也想試試看知識性繪本的創作。
Mr. Chen also brings her picture book series on the latest archeological sites in Tainan. She explains the whole process of making the books in detail, which arouses my interest in making non-fiction books.
陳老師認為我們應該要做本土、原創性的圖畫書，知識性繪本可以利用故事連串，帶出專業知識，讓讀者可以邊想像邊學習。
Ms. Chen encourages us to create original picture books that tell stories about Taiwan. One way to create non-fictional picture books is to incorporate fictional stories and introduce scientific knowledge at the same time.
老師說話的語調淡定溫柔，把知識性繪本從頭到尾、從文字到圖像要注意的無數細節，做了最清楚客觀的說明，雖然把想像力加入知識性繪本可以增添閱讀的樂趣，可是對繪者來說，圖像講究寫實，對於插畫家是很有趣的挑戰。
Ms. Chen speaks in a calm and gentle way, telling us everything about how to create a non-fiction picture book in terms of the text and images. Something important in making a non-fiction book is doing tons of research for both the writer and the illustrator. Also, the latter has to be as accurate as possible when it comes to artistic expression so as not to mislead the reader.
陳老師的部落格上提供許多和圖畫書相關的訊息，可說是個大寶庫喔！
