Description - Then and Now by Datsun Tran
2025 CBCA Book of the Year Awards Picture Book of the Year Notables. In his picture-book debut, contemporary artist Datsun Tran tells his family’s story of making a new home after journeying by boat from Vietnam as refugees. In vivid ink paintings and spare, resonant text, Then and Now explores the powerful associations a sound, smell or sensation can carry. Young readers are warmly welcomed into two immersive, multi-sensory and strikingly different worlds: then and now. Datsun Tran combines traditional and modern materials and processes to make ink paintings inspired by classical Chinese brushwork. His art primarily features the natural world, but at its core, it is all about us - our human story.
