Lost & Found / Shaun Tan 128 p.

Lost & Found is three independent short stories. The Red Tree shows a young girl going through a depressing day -- her feelings move from solitary individual to despair and depression to a bright spot. Watch for the red leaf on every illustration. The Lost Thing explores finding a comfortable home for a most usual friend. The Rabbits retells the story of a colonizing species that overwhelms the indigenous gentle population.


The storylines are serious and thought-provoking complimented by vivid, mesmerizing, and attention-grabbing illustrations. A work to return to capture more meaning.

Tan adapted The Lost Thing into an Oscar-winning animated short
