Ondanks de maar 30 pagina’s met telkens maar 4 lijnen tekst om de pagina is dit zó goed, zó slim, en Zó mooi geïllustreerd. Een boek dat zowel bij kinderen als volwassenen zal aanslaan; het is komisch, zelfbewust, maar raakt ook een belangrijk politiek thema aan. Dit is een boekje dat ik telkens terug ga openslaan voor de illustraties.
Wie kan al dit bovenstaande zeggen over een ander boekje van maar 30 pagina’s?

You can never go wrong with a Shaun Tan picture book; I absolutely adore his allegories, especially in the one this time about hard work in an industry that doesn't know how to appreciate it.

Both uplifting and depressing all at the same time.

'Cicada' is a visual masterpiece that clearly and articulately describes the experience of working in an environment as a minority. I continue to be stunned by the beauty, complexity, and clarity of Tan's work. It is beyond impressive, his ability to create works that can so deeply speak to kids and adults alike and with such high quality of craftsmanship. I would highly recommend this book.
