The Arrival by Shaun Tan

4.0

The Arrival was an incredible work of art. This graphic novel has no words but as the old saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words". The Arrival accomplishes this beautifully! The artwork is so stunning! There are so many details within each image. I found myself starring at pages for a long time and then finally turning the page to progress the story. 
As an adult reading this I found this an incredible story of immigrating to a new country and how terrifying that is and overwhelming. I also loved the sense of community that they depicted. 
I going to have to go purchase my own copy because I want to continue looking at the artwork and this was a library copy.
