Book Description
"A man leaves his family behind and travels to a strange new land, where the food, the language, and even the buildings and animals are weird and unfamiliar. He has no skills: he cannot read the signs or operate simple household machines. Yet, he patiently persists and is guided along his journey by the kindness of strangers--people who have also experienced the heartbreak and frustration of leaving their homes and learning to live in a new place.
The story is old; how many times has this story been told in literature, movies, and poetry?
Shaun Tan's take on the old tale is entirely new: the entire story is told in lovely paneled drawings without words, making the immigrant experience accessible to people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Readers (no matter what their native language may be) experience the confusion first-hand by viewing the pictures, and trying to decipher and make sense of the weird places and objects."
