Cicada

ISBN: 9780734418630
Description:
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.
My View:
Minimalist in style with simple illustrations but big on messages – this book is a delight to read.
Reading, Writing and Riesling 
I heard Shaun Tan interviewed about this book on a podcast recently. The premise behind it sounded so intriguing. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for it.
