__________________________

What drives so many to leave everything behind and journey alone to a mysterious country, a place without family or friends, where everything is nameless and the future is unknown. This silent graphic novel is the story of every migrant, every refugee, every displaced person, and a tribute to all those who have made the journey.

Our Booksellers Say...

"A wordless masterpiece. The arrival portrays so much emotion and heart with its beautiful illustration. The bizarre creatures and language are familiar enough to connect with, and odd enough to convey the confusion that comes with moving to a foreign place as an immigrant. Heart wrenching and heartwarming in turn, this book is not to be missed."
