Shaun Tan - El árbol rojo

Through wonderful illustrations, The red tree crosses on a couple, one day "vacuum of hope." In the absence of an explicit story, page after page a series of images, populated by monsters, animals, landscapes, shadows, illustrate the mood of the protagonist, dominated by loneliness, fear, sadness. Despite so much darkness in each table is a red sheet, hope. The book tackles the issue of negative mood states, rare in literature for children, showing that negative emotions are inevitable, but you can temperar with hope: even in the darkest moments there is always a red leave.
