"A little girl gets up one morning in a room flooded with black leaves. She then began crossing fifteen paintings, each depicting a world both strange and familiar feeling connected to: loneliness, fear, sadness. This contemplative journey combining various graphic techniques reflects the painful path of melancholy as the expectation of happiness."
"Qui ne s'est pas levé un jour, sans trop savoir quoi faire, se sentir bizarre et seul dans un monde étranger ?"

""Sometimes the day begins with nothing to look forward to ..." Intricate illustrations vividly portray troubled emotions, ending with a bright possibility."@en

"Un superbe album sur nos états d'âme. Très peu de texte, des lettres mal alignées, pas de la même taille, mais des mots percutants qui accompagnent les illustrations très fortes. De grands tableaux (mélange de peinture et collages) à la fois sombre, lumineux et doux. Une merveille de sensibilité et de poésie. [SDM]."
"Une petite fille se lève un matin dans une chambre envahie de feuilles noires. Elle entame alors la traversée de quinze tableaux, chacun figurant un univers à la fois étrange et familier relié à un sentiment : la solitude, la peur, la tristesse. Ce voyage contemplatif mêlant diverses techniques graphiques témoigne du douloureux chemin de la mélancolie comme l'attente du bonheur."
"When a child awakens with dark leaves drifting into her bedroom, she feels that "sometimes the day begins with nothing to look forward to, and things go from bad to worse." Feelings too complex for words are rendered into an imaginary landscape where the child wanders, oblivious to the glimmer of promise in the shape of a tiny red leaf. Everything seems hopeless until the child returns to her room and sees the red tree. At that perfect moment of beauty and purity, the child smiles and her world stirs anew. Shaun Tan's illustrations are remarkable for the way they combine and react upon each other. He creates an otherworldly labyinth of visual ideas joined with the familiar immediacy of the little child, and condenses them into scenes of extraordinary depth and insight. Every child will appreciate the book's life-affirming message but it will be equally successful with all readers. With sensitivity and wonder, the evocative images in The Red Tree open a window to our inexplicable emotions and tell a story about the power of hope, renewal and inspiration."
