The Arrival, without words, conveys the feelings of loneliness and fear our unnamed hero deals with when he leaves his family to travel to a new land. We see the confusion at the new language, currency, and customs that are so alien to him. His daily struggle to learn his surroundings and meet expectations of others around him are difficult to watch. This book moved me to tears as I watched his brave journey from new arrival to seasoned citizen. This is perhaps one of the best books that I have seen in our Media Center in years.
