Brilliant in its simplicity

Have a look at The Arrival a graphic novel by Shaun Tan. He shares with the read the challenges of communication for new arrivals when confronted with a new destination, where the words and the world are unknown.

Tan paints an evocative picture of isolation and wonder without the use of words. Students of communication, graphic arts, community service, language and literacy could appreciate this complex but brilliantly presented book.

Do yourself a favour! Drop into the lounge area of the Bundamba library and take a few minutes to share the experiences of the The Arrivals. It will help you discover new dimensions to understanding cross cultural communication.
