《A如南極洲》是一本關於地球上最少人認識的洲─南極洲的書。這塊大陸是人類最後才發現的地方，一個屬於全人類的空白大陸，在這裡，我們可以過著比在家中還簡單的生活。這本書講述了南極洲的故事，反映出人類對知識的永恆渴望，以及不斷挑戰自我極限的精神。

如今，世界上幾乎已經沒有什麼「無人之地」了，就彷彿已經沒有什麼新大陸等待我們去發現。但正因如此，「重新發現這個世界」反而成為了最艱鉅的任務─以從未有過的方式去看見這個世界，學習去欣賞它的多樣與豐富，同時不留下生態災難的後果。唯有如此，地球才能在千年之後依舊令人著迷，繼續孕育後代子孫的生活。

捷克籍插畫家大衛·博姆（David Böhm），以他的暢銷作品《A如南極洲》（A as in Antarctica）為主題，帶領孩子們體驗創意插畫世界。

A book about the least known continent, the last one to be discovered by humans. An empty continent that belongs to everyone, where we can live with fewer things than we have at home. A setting for stories that confirm the eternal human desire for knowledge and for pushing the boundaries of our own abilities.

There are not many places left in the world where no one has been. It is as if there is nothing left to discover. And that is precisely the most challenging task: to rediscover the world in a way we have never seen before. To learn to enjoy its richness and diversity without leaving behind an ecological disaster—so it remains a fascinating place even a thousand years from now and can sustain those who come after us.
