Gorgeous book. If you've ever thought picture books couldn't be Art with a Capital A, or appealing to older readers, take a look at The Red Tree. It's got some of the best visual representations of depression and uncertainty that I've ever seen. Shaun Tan's illustrations are otherworldly, and the words are just enough, ending with a note of hope that makes you realize the hope has been there all along. This book would make a great gift for someone who's going through a hard time.
