From the singular mind and brush of New York Times bestselling and Academy Award-winning author-artist Shaun Tan, comes his newest graphic novel, Hometown. It comes to shelves September 1, 2026 from Levine Querido Books.

Hometown is a visually gorgeous, emotionally stunning (and frequently funny) meditation about what it means to belong, and what makes us who we are. Hometown will be published simultaneously in the US, Australia, and the UK.

A girl grows up happily with her adoptive parents, a big sister and a little sister, and friends galore in a vibrant, close-knit community she adores . . . until a creature from outer space falls from the sky and claims (correctly) that she looks more like him than any of the beings she knows and loves. He urges her to go back with him. She doesn’t belong here. Can he be . . . right?

Hometown is a perfect companion to The Arrival, celebrating 20 years in 2026, Shaun Tan’s new masterpiece is a uniquely powerful, funny, and insightful exploration of identity, and what it means to be home.

You can pre-order it now from Amazon, Bookshop, and your local comic shop and bookstore.
