About this product

Product Information

A small child awakes to find blackened leaves falling from her bedroom ceiling, threatening to quietly overwhelm her. 'Sometimes you wake up with nothing to look forward to ...' As she wanders around a world that is complex, puzzling and alienating, she is overtaken by a myriad of feelings. Just as it seems all hope is lost, the girl returns to her bedroom to find that a tiny red seedling has grown to fill the room with warm light. Astonishing Perth artist, Shaun Tan's latest creation, THE RED TREE, is a book about feelings - feelings that can not always be simply expressed in words. It is a series of imaginary landscapes conjured up by the wizardry of Shaun Tan's masterful and miraculous art. As a kind of fable, THE RED TREE seeks to remind us that, though some bad feelings are inevitable, they are always tempered by hope.

  • Exceptionally good illustrations, wonderful book.

    My place of work has this book and I have bought myself a copy. The book could be read with children to help them understand depression, low mood or loss they have experienced and how this can effect us. It really is an exceptional book in terms of imaginative and provocative illustrations. It illustrates really well the experience of the main character and although it is not especially wordy, the book makes it's point very well.

    My daughter used to read this book at school and seeing as she enjoyed it so much, I decided to buy her a copy. The illustrations are colourful and I'd definitely recommend this book.
