名人推薦：桃園市長 張善政 序
桃園是全台原住民族人口第二多的城市，擁有豐富的文化底蘊與多元的族群故事。這本《奶奶的農作物》，呈現泰雅族豐富的傳統文化與緊密相依於土地的生活方式。如今推出英文版，為世界開啟一扇認識泰雅族的窗口。這本由市民自發完成的繪本，承載著雅族人珍惜土地、尊重自然的精神。我誠摯推薦，期盼它成為文化交流的橋樑，讓台灣原住民族的語言與文化被更多人認識，並在世界舞台上綻放光彩。

When I was born, Dad and Mom called me ghap. When the eyes of the sakura open, Mom scattered me onto the farmland. When I was two months old, two tender leaves spruoted from my head. Then half a month later, my feet worked hard to take root downward. I slowly grew taller and stronger when I was three months old. At the age of four months, Dad and Mom weeded. When I was at the age of five months, Dad protected me with bird repellent. At the age of six month, I often bowed to the sky. At the time that my parents started to reap. I have many siblings.
This is bukil, who is used for making rice cakes. This is nwiwil, for making pickled meat and pickled fish. Nbaqu, for brewing wine. This is Bsinuw, it is used for health-nurturing. There are several kinds of millet such as nqare bsinuw ……After we were seven, Dad let us run and play hide-and-seek under the sun. Until we were ten years old, Dad watched us grow big and round. He celebrated and shared the first harvest with his people. At the age of eleven, the weather became more and more cooler. Among all our siblings, some have already laid to rest in the barn. And still others slept in people’s belly. And me, I become the seed of next year, waiting for the future journey.

寫《qnxan na trakis》的初衷，是希望用小米的視角，讓孩子們認識我們泰雅族與土地之間的連結。小米不僅僅是農作物，它承載著祖先的智慧與文化的記憶。透過這本雙語繪本，我想讓孩子在閱讀中學會族語，聽到土地的聲音，看到自己的文化。我相信每一粒種子都有說故事的能力，也相信孩子會在故事裡找到自己的根。願這本書像小米一樣，在你我的心裡落地、生根、發芽，繼續長出屬於我們的語言與故事。
