Congratulations to Author and Illustrator Shaun Tan!
February 28, 2011
Shaun Tan won an Academy Award last night for Best Short Film (Animated) for his film The Lost Thing, based on his picture book of the same name.
In his acceptance speech, Tan observed, "Our film is about a creature that nobody pays any attention to, so this is wonderfully ironic.”
Tan is the author and illustrator of several award winning children's books such as The Red Tree, The Lost Thing and The Arrival.
