With no words Tan perfectly brings to life the immigrant experience. The sadness and fear of leaving behind those you love, the loneliness, the fear of a new place and the joy and wonder and new experiences. Each person telling their own story to our immigrant and each helping a little along the way. There is a feeling of community and the whimsical surroundings convey beautifully how strange and different things seem to newcomers.
I loved it.
