y separately published work icon The Red Tree Shaun Tan , Shaun Tan (illustrator), Port Melbourne : Lothian , 2001 Z926241 2001 single work picture book children's (taught in 4 units) 'The Red Tree is a story without any particular narrative; a series of distinct imaginary worlds as self-contained images which invite readers to draw their own meaning in the absence of any written explanation. As a concept, the book is inspired by the impulse of children and adults alike to describe feelings using metaphor - monsters, storms, sunshine, rainbows and so on ... A nameless young girl appears in every picture, a stand-in for ourselves; she passes helplessly through many dark moments, yet ultimately finds something hopeful at the end of her journey.'
