Enjoy! ( )

I'm always so pulled in by Tan's artwork that I have to read some of his work more than once. The Arrival is wordless, yet it defines for me the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words". Each page was a story and although there were no words, the art really speaks for itself. ( )

beautiful and moving. ( )

In this heartbreaking but happy ending wordless picture book, a man embarks on a journey to build a better life for his family who is suffering in a dark, jobless city. This man goes into an unknown world where he struggles to communicate with others as there is a cultural and language barrier. This is the story of an immigrant to faces isolation and loneliness. This book takes a lot of intense studying of each page to understand what is happening in the story. This book must be read by older students, middle grades perhaps, independently so that each child can spend as much time as they need on each page. ( )

This is one of those few books that you don't need to know how to read in order to enjoy its content. ( )
