作者簡介
編輯小小的插麯：他的故事感動了來自世界上不同角落裏的人，這不是偶然的成功也不是僅僅幻想出來的故事，2007年2月的某一天一個來自於日本的優秀演員 她叫上野樹裏 因為這本書，給她帶來了精神上的撫慰也給於她一種無形的力量，旅行中導演事先約了這位她很久之前就想見到的作傢，他們的相見，也許是因為相同的遭遇，他們開始聊起。希爾談及到自己為何會寫這本書，他是這樣回答樹裏的：“其實他也從小就失去了父親，小孩子和大人的感受是不同的，他們覺得失去了自己最愛的人時，這時會懂得了在這個世界上除了自己外，任何人都不能依賴。直到有一天他的母親也去世了，他纔把多年來積壓在心裏的壓力釋放出來，所以他决定寫這本書來告訴人們生命裏我們應該重視什麽，對待死亡我們又該如何去面對。
他在書中告訴人們：决不要在你怨恨的時候讓太陽下山。這句話的意思是說，在你睡覺前，决不能生氣或敵視任何人，特別是不要敵視你所愛的人，因為你有可能今天晚上一躺下，明天早晨就再也起不來了……

編輯《天藍色的彼岸》
作者艾利剋斯・希爾嚮我們講述了一個小男孩哈裏因車禍去了另一個世界，正等着去天藍色的彼岸，但他覺得自己還有很多事沒做完：他想念着他的親人、朋友、老師，他想知道沒有他的日子，他們會怎麽辦。卻又不知如何傳達他的心聲。直到他碰上一個叫阿瑟的幽靈，於是他跟阿瑟的幽靈偷偷溜下凡間，而哈裏看到的情況卻出乎他的預料：最好的朋友跟他的“死敵”一起玩，他以為他的死會讓全班十分悲傷，可同學們卻還和從前一樣的上課，他的位置坐上了另一個人。哈裏忽然意識到生活不會因他而改變，他死了，但生活還在。 當哈裏來到電影院，很驚異的發現有那麽多的幽靈躲藏在這裏，這讓他覺得難過，有那麽多的人捨不得這個世界，有那麽多的人還惦記着世界裏面的人，但他們永遠和世界隔着一道玻璃，那麽清晰的看見卻又那麽遙遠，但這一切都已經來不及了。
艾利剋斯・希爾的其他作品：《神秘的易拉罐》給我們述說了智慧、勇氣的故事。
