A stunning picture book for older readers that will resonate for anyone who has ever felt unappreciated, from Shaun Tan, Academy Award winner and winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal 2020.

Cicada works in an office, dutifully working day after day for unappreciative bosses and being bullied by his co-workers. But one day, something truly extraordinary happens . . .

A story for anyone who has ever felt unappreciated, overlooked or overworked but dreams of magic, from Australia’s most acclaimed picture book creator, and winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal.

This is Shaun Tan’s first author-illustrator book in five years, and his most important and moving fable since The Arrival.
