As you get ready to read The Rabbits, you may wish to explore Shaun Tan's website for additional information regarding his work.
Tan began drawing and painting images at an early age in Perth, Western Australia, and he has emerged in the last few years as a talented graphic author and has become a prolific writer. His books are very engaging and have enamoured a wide variety of readers.
Through dream-like imagery, Tan's books are well-known for their social, political, and historical subjects. One of his books, The Arrival, has been studied extensively and is used in ADLC's English 20-1 course. English 30-1 will focus on The Rabbits, which was a collaboration with John Marsden.
