四、編者的話
編者的話
 
用想像力把蔬菜變好吃吧！
 
提到「蔬菜」，許多父母第一件聯想到的事，應該是孩子的挑食問題吧？比起其他食物，蔬菜在餐桌上不受到青睞的機率，的確高了些；像是綠色的葉菜類，味道和口感特殊的青椒、苦瓜、茄子等等，都是榜上有名的常客。
其實，這也是我們在規劃這套蔬果系列的繪本時，最先想到的第一個挑戰，就是：如何翻轉孩子覺得蔬菜「不美味」的刻板印象？要向孩子推廣蔬食，至少得先讓他們願意吃蔬菜、喜歡吃蔬菜吧！
在經過（一群挑食的大人們）熱烈討論後，我們挑選出十幾樣大多數人討厭的蔬菜，蔬果系列的第一個主題「討厭啦！好好吃喔！」就這樣誕生了。
不過，我們並不想用說教式的方式，來告訴孩子這些蔬菜有多營養、把它吃下去對身體有多健康，而是希望以最單純又直接的方式來傳達；就是透過有趣的、極富想像力的故事與圖像，讓孩子在接觸到蔬菜時，有一個正向美好的連結。在吃蔬菜的時候，想起讀過的繪本故事，原本不喜歡吃的蔬菜，也會同時變得既好玩又美味了呢！
以這樣的企劃想法為基礎，我們向許多優秀的插畫藝術家提出邀約，只列出可選擇的蔬菜種類，以及在故事中加入「討厭啦！好好吃喔！」這句話的要求而已。沒想到，最後的成果令人非常驚豔！因為，此次出版的五個故事，都擁有不同面向的敘事趣味，也精采的表現了創作者的個人風格。甚至在創作的過程中，大家還玩心大起，讓故事的角色與蔬菜互相亂入串場；家長陪孩子們閱讀這套繪本時，不妨也試著尋找一下這樣的「彩蛋」吧！
衷心企盼，蔬果系列這套風格多元、卻同樣具有童心與趣味的繪本作品，可以令孩子在閱讀故事時，也會愛上美味又健康的蔬菜水果。
 
五、作者的話
作者的話
 
其實，我本來對青豆沒什麼興趣，我的小孩也不太喜歡吃。
經常擔任配菜的青豆，不特別美味、有時還會被挑掉，有什麼吸引人的地方呢？在發想過程中，我才發現「綠色豆豆」根本是個小宇宙呢！不但種類繁多（豌豆、四季豆、毛豆、荷蘭豆……誰是誰啊！）、料理方式多變，更是營養的超級食物！不起眼的小豆子，卻擁有美味和健康的魔法，於是「青豆魔法師」的概念就此誕生。
創作這本書時，適逢疫情，也剛好碰上我的大女兒變成小學生、小女兒變成幼兒園新生，生活充滿各種調整和考驗，著實不容易。不過，「青豆書」為我們家帶來很多樂趣：一起搞笑發想情節，一起畫各種綠色造型的生物、實驗各種青豆創意（奇怪）料理，也試著在陽台種豌豆，還用毛線編織了豌豆家族等等。謝謝我的家人TC、Mimi、小滿，我們再一次完成了全家共同的創作，也累積了無可取代的過程和回憶。
而且，這是我目前畫過「出場角色」最多的一本作品！成群結隊的小青豆加上大小觀眾，總人數真不少；在不同場景，同個角色還會有不同的表情與姿勢。我家小姐妹最愛的遊戲之一，就是在每一頁尋找自己喜歡的「那顆豆豆」；也會請媽媽準備青豆，隨著故事將青豆擺出各種自創造型。當然，也會像書中的主角一樣，把所有的青豆吃光光！
青豆還能變成什麼呢？還有哪些有趣的玩法？書中還藏有哪些細節？希望各位也能開心讀「玩」這本書，像我們全家一樣，愛上這群充滿樂趣和能量的小東西！
最後，感謝我的編輯怡年，謝謝妳開啟了這個美好的企劃，更謝謝妳對我的信任和支持；也特別感謝本書翻譯和美編，您們的建議和幫助都讓這本書更上一層樓。一本書從創作到出版真的不簡單，而我們一起做到了。

"No! That's too good!" Series to undo children's stereotype of "hating" vegetables.
Among the vegetables children don't like, we selected a dozen or so most commonly disliked vegetables including yam, carrot, onion, eggplant, green pea, green pepper, and bitter gourd, and using "No! That's too good!" as the key phrase in the stories, we ask illustrators to work their imaginations and create various interesting stories.
Without preaching to children how nutritious the vegetables are, and how healthy the vegetables will make them if they eat the vegetables, we guide children through stories and pictures to form a positive and good bond with vegetables and increase their interest in eating vegetables.

四、編者的話
From the Editor
 
Make the vegetables delicious with imagination!
 
When it comes to vegetables, the first thing that comes to mind for many parents is probably how picky their children can be. Compared to other food, vegetables are more likely to be undesired at the table, usual winners include leafy greens and those that are particular in taste and texture such as green pepper, bitter gourd, and eggplant.
 
In fact, the first challenge that we envisioned when planning this series of picture books on vegetables and fruits was how to undo the stereotype of children thinking that vegetables are "not delicious"? To promote vegetarian cuisine to children, they need to at least be willing to eat vegetables and like vegetables!
 
After some rather heated debates (among similarly picky adults), we came up with a dozen or so vegetables that most people hate, and hence the first theme of this vegetable and fruit collection "No! This is too good!"
 
However, we do not want to preach to children how nutritious vegetables are and how much good vegetables will do to their bodies if they ate vegetables. We want to convey this idea in the most simple and straightforward way, which is through fun and innovative stories and pictures, and when they are exposed to vegetables, they will have a positive and beautiful connection. When they eat vegetables, they will remember the picture books they once read, and the vegetables that they didn't like will become fun and delicious all at once!
 
Starting with this idea, we sent out invites to many talented illustrators with a list of vegetables they can choose from, our only request is to include the phrase "No! This is too good!" Little did we anticipate such amazing turnouts. The first five stories published this time each have a different narrative, beautifully demonstrating the personal styles of the artists. During the process, we even came up with the idea to place characters and vegetables from other stores in different works, when reading the picture books with your children, you might also fancy a small easter egg hunt!
 
I sincerely hope that this diversified and entertaining collection will make children love the delicious and healthy vegetables and fruits when they read the stories in the picture books.
 
五、作者的話
From the Author
 
To be honest, I never had much interest in green peas, and my children don't like them either.
As a side dish, the green pea is not particularly tasty and sometimes people pick at it, so what's there to like? But when I was trying to come up with a story, I realized that the green little thing is a universe all on its own! Not only are there many varieties (garden pea, French bean, edamame, snow pea...... So confusing!) and can be cooked in many ways, it is also a nutritious super food! The humble green pea possesses a kind of magic that is delicious and healthy, hence the concept "Green Pea Magician".
While working on this book, the pandemic hit, and my older daughter entered elementary school while my younger daughter entered preschool, life was rather challenging dealing with all sorts of adjustments and tests. However, the green pea book brought our family loads of fun: brainstorming funny plots together, drawing various green-colored creatures, experimenting with various creative (weird) green pea recipes, and we also tried planting green peas on our balcony as well as knitting a whole family of green peas with yarn. I would like to thank my family TC, Mimi, and Xiao-Man, for yet again finishing a project as a family, and for creating memories that can never be replaced.
This is also by far the largest group of "characters" I have drawn in one single book! The groups of green peas plus the family of the audience make quite a large number, and the same character may have different postures and expressions in different scenarios. One of the favorite games of my two daughters is looking for their favorite pea on every page, sometimes they ask me, their mother, to prepare green peas for them so they may shape the green peas in different shapes as the story unfolds. Of course, just like the main character in the book, they finish by eating up all the green peas!
What else can green peas become? What other ways are there to play with them? What other details are tucked away in the book? I hope you all have fun reading this book, and fall in love with this joyful and energetic bunch just like our family did!
Finally, I would like to thank my editor Yi-Nien for developing this beautiful project, and for your trust and support in me. I would also like to thank the translator and art editor of this book, your suggestions and assistance have made this book even better. It's a tough journey bringing a book from scratch to publishing, but together, we accomplished it.
