In most novels about immigrants, we get a recap about how strange this new world was; but to us it is all normal, so we can’t truly appreciate how they felt. That’s where The Arrival steps in. It depicts how different it would feel for an immigrant in a way that we would understand. Shaun created what looks like an entirely new world with new devices, new creatures and a new language, and along the way stories are told about several immigrants and why they were forced or chose to come to this new land. On top of that, not a word is spoken.
I think that this book is one of the most unique books I’ve ever read. It is the first and only book I know of that can convey the feelings and emotions without a single word. It is some of the best illustration I’ve ever seen and truly one of a kind.
I would recommend this book to anyone, quite literally anyone. Because of its lack of pictures anyone of any language can feel the story flying by.
