Cool representation of this culture but a pretty boring story ( ) In some ways, this is a really niche book, but when the niche is nonbinary Indigenous kids and excellent bilingual Anishinaabe storytelling, it's quite an important and often overlooked contribution. What I loved about this is that as a white person, I found the storytelling accessible and engaging, and I loved the gradual mashup with Alice in Wonderland. I also loved that this book is so clearly not for me and from an outside perspective looks like it is doing a wonderful job being a great book for Anishinaabe-speaking middle schoolers -- because I don't know the stories of the Paayehnsag, and I can tell that someone who does will probably enjoy this even more than I did. There's some heavy stuff going on (bullying). There's a safe place for students to connect with their heritage (a field trip). There's a fantastical story that has elements of both traditional stories and pop culture. The pacing is good. The illustrations are great. I'm so glad to see this, and I think it's very well done. I hope to see more from this author in the future. Advanced Reader's Copy provided by Edelweiss. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: A BookRiot "Don't-Miss 2022 Queer Graphic Novels & Memoirs" Anishinaabe culture and storytelling meet Alice in Wonderland in this coming-of-age graphic novel that explores Indigenous and gender issues through a fresh yet familiar looking glass. Aimée, a non-binary Anishinaabe middle-schooler, is on a class trip to offer gifts to Paayehnsag, the water spirits known to protect the land. While stories are told about the water spirits and the threat of the land being taken over for development, Aimée zones out, distracting themselves from the bullying and isolation they've experienced since expressing their non-binary identity. When Aimée accidentally wanders off, they are transported to an alternate dimension populated by traditional Anishinaabe figures in a story inspired by Alice in Wonderland. To gain the way back home, Aimée is called on to help Trickster by hunting down dark water spirits with guidance from Paayehnsag. On their journey, Aimée faces off with the land-grabbing Queen and her robotic guards and fights the dark water spirits against increasingly stacked odds. Illustrated by KC Oster with a modern take on their own Ojibwe style and cultural representation, Rabbit Chase is a story of self-discovery, community, and finding one's place in the No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
