Houliao students proved that public-health education can be playful. They wrote and illustrated their very own picture book about disease prevention — including the lesser-known infection melioidosis — and on May 15 held a formal launch and book-signing at the Fangyuan Township Library.
誰說防疫衛教只能硬梆梆？後寮國小孩子超有才！我們把防疫知識變成了暖心繪本，今天在鄉立圖書館正式舉辦發表暨簽書會。
Who says health education has to be dull? Houliao kids made it a story.防疫衛教也能變成孩子最愛的繪本故事。
The programme opened with a young storyteller drawing everyone into the world of "The Bottomless Pit," followed by classmates Cheng-le and Yi-xuan performing a comic disease-prevention crosstalk that had the visiting dignitaries laughing out loud. Even a topic like melioidosis, it turns out, can become a story children love — that is the reading energy of a Houliao child.
活動一開場，小小說書人用《無底洞》把大家帶入童話世界，程樂與苡瑄同學帶來的「防疫相聲」更逗得現場長官賓客笑聲不斷！原來「類鼻疽」防疫知識也能變成這麼有趣的繪本故事，這就是後寮孩子驚人的「閱讀原動力」。
Warm thanks to CEO Liu Ding-ping of the Urbani Memorial Foundation, Supervisor Shih Pei-jun of the Changhua County Education Department, and Fangyuan Township Mayor Lin Bao-ling. The book is now being shared with other schools across the township — a milestone in Houliao's drive for reading and cross-disciplinary creativity, so the hope of protecting one another's health keeps spreading.
特別感謝歐巴尼紀念基金會劉定萍執行長、彰化縣政府教育處石珮君督學、芳苑鄉林保玲鄉長以及各界貴賓到場支持。這本繪本不僅是孩子們的成長紀錄，更是學校推動閱讀與跨域美感的里程碑——我們把這份愛傳遞給鄉內各校，讓守護健康的希望持續擴散。
