The immigration experience of your dreams

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: This book appeals to the imagination as well as the heart in a fantastical and timeless story of the immigration experience.
Review: First, let me tell you how I was drawn to this book. I am the granddaughter of Italian immigrants, I enjoy doing art, I have a very short attention span, and I enjoy creative fantasy. Shaun Tan's The Arrival, the most recent of his graphic books had...

Making an Immigrant's Story Universal: Shaun Tan's "The Arrival"

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2009
The Bottom Line: A fantastic, surreal, wondrous book about what it's like to be an immigrant--any immigrant--into any country.
Review: One of the hardest things to do as an American History teacher is make all these white kids realize that they have an immigration story somewhere in their past.  For 12 and 13 year old kids, if it's anything that happened before 2004, it's ancient...

Hardcover, The Arrival
In a heartbreaking parting, a man gives his wife and daughter a last kiss and boards a steamship to cross the ocean. He's embarking on the most painful yet important journey of his life - he's leaving home to build a better future for his family.Shaun Tan evokes universal aspects of an immigrant's experience through a singular work of the imagination. He does so using brilliantly clear and mesmerizing images. Because the main character can't communicate in words, the book forgoes them too. But while the reader experiences the main character's isolation, he also shares his ultimate joy.
