作者簡介
賴馬
1968年生,27歲那年出版第一本書《我變成一隻噴火龍了!》即獲得好評,從此成為專職的圖畫書創作者。目前一家五口在台東玩耍生活著,並於2014年夏天成立了「賴馬繪本館」。
在賴馬的創作裡,每個看似幽默輕鬆的故事,其實結構嚴謹,不但務求合情合理、還要符合邏輯;每幅以巧妙手法布局的畫面細節,都歷經反覆推敲、仔細經營。除了第一眼的驚嘆,更禁得起一讀再讀。
賴馬的作品幾乎得過所有台灣重要的圖畫書獎項,亦曾連續三年登上誠品書店暢銷書榜圖畫書類第一名。2007年應邀到大阪國際兒童文學館演講。
每有新作都廣受喜愛,2014出版的《愛哭公主》榮獲兒童及少年圖書金鼎獎,與2015年出版的《生氣王子》累計逾8萬本的亮眼銷售成績,足以顯示賴馬在圖畫書世界的魅力。
