书籍介绍
This illustrated book has no words at all – yet through creative and detailed artwork it reveals a poignant personal record of one person’s journey to a new land. The book is designed to look as if it has seen better times – a worn cover, pages which look aged. Through pictures, the narrative vividly expresses the sadness of leaving homeland and family behind, and the bewilderment and fear, as well as joy and kindnesses, experienced in encountering the unknown. The administrative hurdles of immigration, the strange customs of a different country, the unfamiliar factories, machines, animals – all are imaginatively portrayed in this graphic journal. There are powerful reminders throughout of the value of friends and the timeless story of those who seek a better future. Key stage 2 children will find this an engaging book but also one which links with work in history and religious education. This is definitely a book to have in any Year 6 collection.

陈志勇的异想世界。2016.9，感谢亮亮赠书。
无字绘本之精品！
同樣是澳洲移民，讀這個繪本尤為有共鳴。去异星球，異國文字食物交通各種都莫名其妙，但總有很多熱心人幫助，還有他們的故事。捱過孤獨的時光，全家團聚，在異星球開始更好的生活，而當年的異鄉人成本地人，對新來異鄉人伸出援手，善意的傳遞。豐富想象力創造的怪物和異星球，卻一點都不違和。很棒！
看过N次了，但这两天第一次给三岁多的牛牛讲解。他的泪点在主角从行李箱取出家人合影挂起来的时候。
那样的温暖和孤寂，并且宏大。
像绘画版的《哭泣的草原》，移民，离散，孤独，绝望和希望。
沉默的绘本，静穆的画面，但是底下是波涛汹涌的情感，起起伏伏的思绪。抵岸到的是哪？乌托邦，痛苦后的快乐乡，又或是天堂？
画风神了 无字绘本有的地方比较难理解 但是整体故事还是温暖的
在墨尔本city library偶然借到，仿佛在看电影分镜，一个移民奇幻短片。陈志勇是澳洲华裔，当年看奥斯卡动画短片，很喜欢他的《失物招领》。两年前给我的奇幻小片子做混音时，看到混音大叔工作室墙上贴的众多海报之中就有《失物招领》，一问，当年正是他们做了《失》的声音后期。瞬间惊喜。正是这样一些细枝末节联结发生的瞬间，让我觉得一切都在流淌，让我意识到那些热忱依然存在，让我想踮起脚往空里跳，离所爱之事再近一点。
