Description
From the visionary Shaun Tan, an inspirational story for older picture book readers and beyond Cicada tells the story of a hardworking little cicada who is completely unappreciated for what he does. But in the end, just when you think he's given up, he makes a transformation into something ineffably beautiful. A metaphor for growing up? A bit of inspiration for the unappreciated striver in all of us? Yes, yes, and more. Review: Good product - I got it delivered on time with no damages. Review: Beautiful book - Such a poetic classic, like all of Shaun Tan's work. You wont regret buying this.

Magnifique et émouvant
L'histoire se lit en une minute mais traite avec justesse du monde du travail mais peut également évoquer le harcèlement en général. le personnage de la cigale est très touchant, le tout servi par les magnifiques tableaux de Shaun Tan. Un très beau livre à posséder dans sa bibliothèque

今悩んでいる子供に是非読んで欲しい一冊
この翻訳本を書店で見つけて、和訳もよかったが、是非とも原語で読みたいものだとアマゾンで注文。平易な英語ではあるが、そのそっけない表現がかえって心をゆさぶる。途中までは胸がつぶれるような思いで読み進めるのだが、最後に思いがけない希望があるという設定だというのが個人的な解釈。正解かどうかは著者のみが知るのだろうが、２０２１年の最高の一冊になるのは間違いない。ショーン・タンの展覧会も北九州でまだやっているので楽しみ。
