"Tans bildvärld är lika viktig som orden och får den grå berättelsen att sluta i fyrverkeri." Pernilla Josefsson, Kommunalarbetaren"Alma-pristagaren Shaun Tan är tillbaka med en bilderbok som tar ett rejält kliv ut i allvaret. I sin skildring av den ensamma kontorsarbetaren Cikada berör Tan såväl mobbning som utsattheten hos papperslösa gästarbetare och rasism." Erika Hallhagen, Svenska Dagbladet"Cikada är en allåldersbok. Den har närmast en Kafka-liknade stämning och är ytterst skickligt gjord." Dag Hedberg, BTJ"Cikada är helt fantastisk. ... Det är en bok om mobbning, diskriminering, rasism. Om utnyttjandet av invandrad arbetskraft, sociala orättvisor och kapitalism i sin råaste form. Om att bli exploaterad men till slut ta kontroll över sitt liv. Om att vara ensam och utanför men att till slut vara bland vänner. Oavsett ålder går det att känna igen sig i någon del av historien." Johanna Hejdenberg, Arbetarbladet"Cikada (Lilla Piratförlaget) går rakt in. Säger något om mitt liv, om omvärlden där det görs skillnad på folk och folk, och om tragik som till slut blir skrattretande." Eva Emmelin, Norra Skåne"... en säregen och fascinerande allåldersbok som gestaltar sin berättelse på flera olika plan. ... Alla underbetalda i utanförskap kan känna igen sig i berättelsen." Susanna Ekström, Opsis Barnkultur"lysande ... en makalös bilderbok för alla åldrar." Icakuriren"Den här konstnärligt fulländade och poetiska bilderboken kan du ge till vem som helst mellan 3 och 100 år. Den når fram till alla med sitt starka budskap och blir kanske speciellt fin till någon som precis håller på att pensionera sig från ett långt arbetsliv i samhällets tjänst." Söderhamns-KurirenCikada arbetar på ett kontor i ett högt hus. Han arbetar flitigt, dag ut och dag in. Han blir mobbad och osynliggjord av sina arbetskamrater. Han får ingen uppskattning av sin chef. Men en dag går Cikada ut på taket till huset och något alldeles extraordinärt händer Cikada är en bok för alla som någon gång känt sig underskattade, osedda eller utarbetade. En allåldersbok av en av världens mest intressanta bilderboksskapare, Shaun Tan, som tidigare skapat moderna klassiker såsom Ankomsten och Berättelser från yttre förorten.

En historie for alle som har følt seg oversett, overarbeidet eller tatt for gitt. Dette er historien om en sikade som jobber på et kontor, og om menneskene der som ikke verdsetter ham. Dag etter dag utfører sikaden arbeidsoppgavene sine, omgitt av usympatiske sjefer og trakasserende kollegaer. Så en dag går sikaden opp på kontortaket. Da skjer det noe helt uventet …

Sommerregler er en tilsynelatende enkel fortelling om hva to gutter, den ene litt eldre enn den andre, finner på i løpet av en sommer. Hvert oppslag presenterer en sommerregel. Illustrasjonen viser hva som skjer når regelen brytes. For hvert nytt oppslag blir bildene mørkere og mer og mer mystiske, før vi mot slutten av boka ser at båndet mellom guttene er blitt styrket og sommerens magi er gjenvunnet. Vinner av den prestisjetunge prisen Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Award 2014.

Eric is a foreign exchange student who comes to live with a typical suburban family. Although everyone is delighted with the arrangement, cultural misunderstandings ensure, beginning with Eric's insistence on sleeping in a pantry cupboard rather than a specially prepared guest room. This is a small, Eric-sized edition of the story that originally appeared in Tales from Outer Suburbia, edited with some new artwork and layout design.

En flicka växer upp i ett kärleksfullt hem, ovetandes om att hon är den enda människan. Livet är rikt och fullt av vänner. Men en dag stiger en ny varelse ner från himlen, någon som på ett kusligt sätt liknar henne själv, med liknande ögon, händer och röst. Han säger att hon inte hör hemma där och han vill att hon ska följa honom upp i himlen för att hitta sitt riktiga hem. Vad ska hon göra? Ska hon lämna allt hon känner och älskar? Mitt hem är en bok där läsaren kan upptäcka något nytt vid varje omläsning. Ett nytt lager, en ny tolkningsmöjlighet. Boken kan läsas bokstavligt eller metaforiskt. Som en berättelse om en flicka på en främmande planet eller som en liknelse om identitet. Kort sagt: Det är en storslagen bilderbok om vad det innebär att vara människa och vilken plats vi har i universum.

BEST OF THE YEAR The Guardian - SLJ Teen Librarian Toolbox From the creator of The Arrival, a collection of essays illuminating his thoughts and advice for writers and artists, young and old. Shaun Tan is one of the world's most highly acclaimed narrative artists--his stories and images are loved by countless young and not-so-young readers around the world. Drawing upon 25 years as a picture book and comics creator, painter, and film-maker, Creature explores the central obsession of this visionary artist, from casual doodles to studied oil-paintings. Beyond sketches for acclaimed works such as The Arrival, The Lost Thing, and Tales From Outer Suburbia, this volume collects together for the first time unseen and stand-alone illustrations, each resonant with unwritten tales of their own. Detailed commentary by the artist offers an entertaining insight into the endless allure of imaginary, non-human beings and what they might tell us about our so-called "normal" human selves. Artists, writers, students, dreamers, and anyone interested in the deeper undercurrents of creativity, myth, and visual metaphor will find inspiration in these pages. P R A I S E "Weird and wonderful. Tan often explores the junction between adult experience and childhood memory." --The Sydney Morning Herald "A strange beast: dark, whimsical and deeply moving." --The Guardian "Like Miyazaki, Tan engages audiences across a wide range of age and sophistication." --The New York Times ★ "Tan acts as artist, curator, interpretive essayist, and catalog editor for a gallery of over two hundred pieces of his own works that highlight a dominant theme of animate beings--some real, most invented, but all fellow travelers through our world and through our psyches." --BCCB (starred) ★ "This gorgeously designed coffee-table survey of his picture book, comics, exhibition and sketchbook work exposes readers to a 26-year panoply of off-kilter conceptions, in all their disquieting delight. Wondrous." --Booklist (starred)

Fortellinger fra Indre By er en kraftfull refleksjon over eksistensens natur og det kultiverte forholdet vi i vår menneskeverden har til dyr. Fra hunden til krokodillen og fra tigeren til frosken undersøker den verdenskjente kunstneren Shaun Tan den vedvarende kjærligheten og destruktiviteten vi føler for og utsetter våre medskapninger for. Gjennom 25 utsøkt illustrerte historier viser han hvordan dyr kan redde oss, og hvordan vi er sammenvevd, på godt og vondt. Hver surrealistiske historie er belyst av Shauns forbløffende malerier, og inneholder alt hans vidd og vektighet, mens han lyser opp dette mest fundamentale av forhold.

The story of a cicada who works in an office, and all the people who don't appreciate him. CICADA is the new picture book from multi-award-winner Shaun Tan, author of The Arrival, The Red Tree and Rules of Summer.
