由文化建設委員會指導，並透過台灣美術館與東華書局合作，於2006年合力出版了一套《文化台灣繪本》叢書。這套書主要是集合兒童文學界老、中、青三代創作者，以圖文互補的方式編、寫、繪製成圖畫書，希望讓孩子瞭解台灣這個美麗寶島所孕育出來的多樣獨特文化。這套叢書共有十本，在東華出版社的規劃下，主要以呈現台灣本土藝術、文史、民俗、族群的文化理念為書目範疇。本研究在於探究《文化台灣繪本》叢書中所呈現「文化台灣」之意涵，主要側重於探究本系列繪本中所隱含的本土精神，以及其所隱含之文化認同觀點。

本研究採取文本分析，討論此系列繪本之題材選擇及表現手法，觀察文本中所隱含的本土精神，發現本叢書分別以「歷史故事」、「地理故事」和「藝術故事」三類為主，且大多描寫「漢人故事」和「原住民故事」；此外，故事所發生的區域遍及北部、中部、東部和南部。

藉由觀察文本中不同題材，歸納出圖畫書中所欲傳達的文化認同觀點，如：利用台灣藝術家林玉山、朱銘的生平事蹟、多元文化產業的介紹來彰顯台灣文化、述說抗日英雄莫那魯道的英勇事蹟，來激發反抗強權壓制的決心，以及透過藝術家陳澄波塑像過程，凸顯二二八事件受難家屬的心酸血淚，以對二二八記憶的回溯，來強化與認同本土意識，並拉進族群間的隔閡。

依據研究發現，《文化台灣繪本》叢書中「文化台灣」之意涵可歸納出五點：（一）以「常民生活故事」為主軸藉此強調台灣為「多元的文化」環境；（二）故事表現文化的揉雜性以及純粹性；（三）故事內容多以當地景觀呈現地方特色；（四）繪本刻意以不同的插畫風格強調「多元文化」特色；（五）故事中刻意以「地方傳統文化」呈現出族群文化特色。

From the guidance of the Council for Cultural Affaire, and in cooperation with the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and the Tung-Wah Publisher Group, a book series of ten picture books, Cultural Taiwan Picturebook Series, was published in 2006. This book series was written, and illustrated by Taiwanese writers and illustrators. The purpose of this book series is to introduce Taiwan and its unique and diverse cultures to children, which include Taiwan''s arts, literature, history, folklore, and cultures of different ethnic groups. This study investigates the embedded meaning with the series title "Cultural Taiwan;" in other words, this study is to decode its implied local spirit and implicit perspective of cultural identity.

The method used in this study was textual analysis. The subject selection and the ways of presentation shown in the picturebooks were discussed. The local spirit embedded within the stories were classified as the categories of "Historical Story," "Geographic Story," and "Art Story.” Most stories in the series describe the "Han People," but stories about "Native Taiwanese" are also included. Furthermore, the series tells stories of different regions across the northern, central, eastern and southern. All these show that ethnic groups and regions are major elements to decide what stories were included in this series.

This book series is trying to convey the cultural identity by different subjects. They include introducing the Taiwanese artists Lin Yu-shan and Ju Ming and local cultural industries to highlight Taiwan''s culture; telling the story of the heroe Mona Rudao against the Japanese authority, the heroic deeds of power to arouse resistance to oppression; and through the artist Chen Cheng-po’s statue making process, which highlighted the families suffering, to recall the memory of the February 28 incident in order to strengthen the identity of the local community awareness.

The meaning of the series title "Cultural Taiwan" can be summarized into five categories: (a) the "ordinary people life stories" as the axis of this book series to emphasize Taiwan as "multi-cultural" environment; (b) the stories showing the complexity and the purity of Taiwan’s culture; (c) using local landscape in the stories to present the local characteristics; (d) purposely useing different illustration styles to emphasize the characteristics of "cultural diversity"; and (e) intentionally using “local traditional culture” to present the characteristics of different ethnic group cultures.
