One hot summer night in the city, all the power goes out. The TV shuts off and a boy wails, "Mommm!" His sister can no longer use the phone, Mom can't work on her computer, and Dad can't finish cooking dinner. What's a family to do? When they go up to the roof to escape the heat, they find the lights -- in stars that can be seen for a change -- and so many neighbors it's like a block party in the sky! On the street below, people are having just as much fun -- talking, rollerblading, and eating ice cream before it melts. The boy and his family enjoy being not so busy for once. They even have time to play a board game together. When the electricity is restored, everything can go back to normal . . . but not everyone likes normal. The boy switches off the lights, and out comes the board game again.
Using a combination of panels and full bleed illustrations that move from color to black-and-white and back to color, John Rocco shows that if we are willing to put our cares aside for a while, there is party potential in a summer blackout.

城市裡、家裡每個人都是做自己的事
充斥著許多聲音
小女孩 想跟爸爸媽媽一起玩卻總是因為忙碌而被拒絕
忽然間 停電了
原本光亮的、吵鬧的變成了一片寂靜
一家人緩緩地點起蠟燭 依偎在一起
小女孩說我們到外面看看吧
沒想到 剎看黑暗的夜裡竟然透出許多花火
大家在屋頂上、街道上用著微微的燈 愉快地互動著交流著
凱迪克獎（The Caldecott Medal），是由美國圖書館協會所頒發的兒童繪本大獎。1938年創立。
獎項的目的在於獎勵前一年度出版的「給兒童的美國最傑出繪本」，選出一個金牌獎及數個榮譽（銀牌）獎，榮譽獎的數量通常為二至五個。
要獲得凱迪克獎的參選資格，作品必須先以英語在美國出版，且擔任插圖繪製的插畫家須為美國公民或居民。
評審團在評選書籍時，是以在兒童理解力為前提下，圖畫是否能完整表達出故事的主題或概念為考量重點，但書籍其他部分（文本、裝禎設計等）也會列入考慮，無需考慮該書的教育及通俗性。
Blackout（停電了）
颱風過境，總會勾起小時候的回憶，那些有時還會伴隨停電的颱風夜。挨著燭光吃泡麵，包圍我們的除了呼嘯的風聲和滂沱的雨聲，就只有家人的談笑聲。而今生活的發展更進步了，人際關係的進展卻停滯不前。人手一機的畫面隨處可見，也許我們得以在最短的時間獲取最多的資訊，卻也淪於表面互動而失去深入經營的動力。電力與科技某種程度上造成了人與人的疏離，但終究還是要歸咎於人的惰性與依賴，這也是我不時在自省的課題。
適時放下3C，讓我們創造更多不插電的回憶吧！
