Shaun Tan is originally from Perth, and is one of our most-loved exports. His graphic novels/picture books are adored by millions – both children and adults. Shaun’s new book is about a Cicada who works in an office, dutifully toiling day after day for unappreciative bosses and being bullied by his co-workers. But one day, Cicada goes to the roof of the building, and something extraordinary happens – you’ll have to get the book to find out. With beautiful minimalist illustrations, and a story told in Cicada’s broken English, this book will appeal to anyone who has ever felt unappreciated, overlooked, or overworked.
