An absolutely extraordinary depiction of the migrant experience. A man leaves his wife and daughter behind to start a new life in a foreign country. I love how the artist depicts the strangeness of this new land--the language, buildings, technology, even the animals--and how people manage to communicate through gestures, pictures, and smiles. Each time I open this book I see something I hadn't noticed or appreciated before. P.S. Young adults will enjoy this book but it is definitely for people of all ages!
