The Arrival

(1) K-3 Seeking a better life for his family, a man travels to a strange, unfamiliar country. It's the triumph of this lavish, somber, wordless book that readers are kept in sympathetic step with the immigrant hero. Meticulously composed panels propel the action while larger pictures display majestic cityscapes. Subtle shifts from gray to brown to gold underline the story's themes.
