I came accross an interesting book in the school library in Manchester, MA. It is a graphic novel called "The Arrival" by Shaun Tan. There are no words but rather images that depict the new world as seen through an immigrant's eyes. Here is an exerpt from a book review done by Gene Luen Yang in the New York Times in November of 2007: “The Arrival” tells not an immigrant’s story, but the immigrant’s story. Its protagonist, a young father with vaguely Eurasian features, leaves his home to create a better life for his family in a distant land of opportunity. He struggles to find a job, a place to stay and a sense of meaning in his new existence. Along the way he befriends other, more established immigrants. He listens to their stories and benefits from their kindnesses. The young father reunites with his family as “The Arrival” draws to a close, and the distant land finally becomes home.
