24 Copies of the Arrival Please, and Thank You
Everyone once in a great while I am so moved by a book that I simply want the world to stop and join one big book group. 
You all need to stop what you’re doing right now and get yourself a copy (or 24) of Shaun Tan’s elegant, moving, frightening, beautiful The Arrival.
This is a wordless book, and I’m pretty much at a loss for words myself. It’s just, great.
Clearly, I’m not the only one who thinks so.

We have an immigration unit in our 5/6th grades, and I can not wait to read this with them. I love this book and will be getting copies for the whole classroom.
