During a recent Morning Edition broadcast, Shaun Tan's The Arrival was included in Nancy Pearl's list of great "carry-on books" to read on the plane.“Tan conveys so much in each of the pictures that every one — whether full page or smaller — calls out to be pored over. The power of visual art to tell a narrative tale that is both nuanced and complex has seldom, if ever, been demonstrated more clearly than here.” To read and/or listen to the full feature, please click here.
