Young readers will be fascinated by the strange new world the artist creates, complete with floating elevators and unusual creatures, but may not realize the depth of meaning or understand what the man’s journey symbolizes. A wide variety of ethnicities is represented in Tan’s hyper-realistic style, and the sense of warmth and caring for others, regardless of race, age, or background, is present on nearly every page. The only writing is in an invented alphabet, which creates the sensation immigrants must feel when they encounter a strange new language and way of life. It depicts the journey of one man, threatened by dark shapes that cast shadows on his family’s life, to a new country. Tan captures the displacement and awe with which immigrants respond to their new surroundings in this wordless graphic novel. If you want to know more about the book itself this review from Alana Abbott is perfect: The one downside to all this is now I can’t remember who I have seenn recommend it, but I appreciate it. It’s beautiful and will make a great coffee table book and one to go through with my kids. #lifehackĪs I started flipping through it I was amazed that it was a graphic novel telling about the immigrant experience. The Arrival is one of those books and it came as a surprise because someone else in my family completed the cart and it came as part of the order. This year I changed that up and decided to add any book that a friend recommends to my Amazon cart that way I’d be forced to take action on it. This never really panned out because I went back to check I would forget who recommended it and without that personal connection I’d decide against getting the book. I see book recommendations all over the internet and in the past, I would try to make a mental note or add the title to my task list to check out later.
