在日趨繁忙、高壓緊張的現代中，圖像與文字所結合的出版品，使讀者能輕鬆、無壓力的接收並產生共鳴。現今各種思潮逐漸興起，許多創作者紛紛透過繪本的形式，對社會問題進行反思。主題內容的多元發展使得閱讀繪本的讀者不再侷限於兒童。由於觀看繪本所花費的時間短、字數少卻又充滿想像，在現代是個強而有力溝通方式，當我們在思考各種議題的時候，繪本能以簡潔的方式，打動人心。 本創作將結合「繪本」及「妖怪」角色進行創作。透過妖怪這個未知、非現實人物的存在，賦予牠與眾不同的能力以及與人類相似的特質，並與故事中角色互動來反映現實帶給讀者聯想。藉由成人所面臨的心靈危機或生活難題的經驗，根據柳田邦男（2016）分類出五大主題中的「人際關係」來作為創作繪本時的主題。最後歸納繪本的構成元素，創作出一本繪本—《妖怪阿六》。
