In this wordless graphic novel, a man leaves his homeland and sets off for a new country, where he must build a new life for himself and try to support his family back home. His new country is full of strange arquitectural wonders, fantastic animals and other immigrants with stories of why they left home.

Review of 'The Arrival' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

beautiful and moving and bursting with hope and generosity. an immigrant tale told with no words where the new world is fantastical and bewildering. and each immigrant, in turn, becomes a chain of solidarity and comfort... a far cry from the sad, bad tales we tell ourselves about our current xenophobia. yes it's probably unrealistic but isn't this tale of hope inspirational?
