"One of several book layout drawings which were critical in working out the structure of words and images, making sure everything fits into the prescriptive 32-page allowance and has the right sense of flow, variety of language, composition and tone. The Red Tree was particularly difficult because it consciously avoids the usual conventions of a traditional storyline (a progressive arc), but still needs to sustain a reader’s interest and give meaning to an unexpected ending." - Shaun Tan
