Since its publication in 1986, Maus: A Survivor\u2019s Tale <\/em>has become one of the most iconic graphic novels. It features Nazis drawn as cats and Jewish people as mice.

You can find the 10th-anniversary edition of Sugar Falls <\/em>at retailers like Bookshop<\/a> and many public libraries.<\/p>\n

Our review<\/strong>: The anniversary edition of Sugar Falls <\/em>is in full color. I loved how the pages are vibrant in times of happiness, peace and revelation, and muted for the painful, sad scenes. The character illustrations are expressive, while the storytelling is clear and confident. It\u2019s a great book for young readers just learning about the history of residential schools.<\/p>\n

#4. When Stars Are Scattered <\/em>(2020)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

#5. I Am Alfonso Jones<\/em> (2017)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By: Tony Medina, Stacy Robinson and John Jennings<\/p>\n

#6. Footnotes in Gaza<\/em> (2010)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By: Joe Sacco<\/p>\n

In this book, journalist Joe Sacco travels to Khan Younis and Rafah, two towns in Gaza that have faced some of the most brutal events in the long and bloody Middle East conflict. He\u2019s looking for information on a story from 1956 where Israeli soldiers shot 111 Palestinians in Rafah. With his friend and guide, Sacco seeks out interviews about a massacre that has become a \u201cfootnote\u201d in history.

Footnotes in Gaza, <\/em>which has seen a recent surge in demand<\/a>, can be purchased at Bookshop<\/a> and other retailers.<\/p>\n

Our review<\/strong>: Footnotes in Gaza <\/em>is a dense work that may be overwhelming to those new to Middle Eastern history. While the comic-book form makes the information compelling, it can be a bit confusing to navigate when Sacco flips between timelines and multiple interviewees. Treat the book with the attention it demands, however, and it\u2019s one of the most unique and powerful pieces of journalism you\u2019ll encounter.<\/p>\n

#7. Banned Book Club<\/em> (2020)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By: Don Brown<\/p>\n

As they sought safety in neighboring countries, tensions flared at the cost of humanitarian aid<\/a>, increased discrimination and other challenges.

#10. Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation<\/em> (2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By: Anne Frank, Ari Folman and David Polonsky<\/p>\n

When the Nazis occupied the Netherlands in 1942, they oppressed and killed the Jewish population. Anne Frank, who was only 13, went into hiding with her family. For two years, Anne kept a diary detailing her everyday life, her relationships, her fears and her dreams. In 1944, her family was discovered, and 16-year-old Anne died in a concentration camp a year later. Her diary is one of the most iconic pieces of Holocaust literature. Anne Frank\u2019s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation <\/em>uses excerpts from her diary paired with illustrations. The Anne Frank Foundation in Basel, which was founded by Anne\u2019s father Otto, authorized the adaptation.<\/p>\n

Anne Frank\u2019s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation <\/em>is available at retailers like Bookshop<\/a> and many public libraries.  <\/em><\/p>\n

Our review<\/strong>: While not all of Anne\u2019s diary entries could be included in this adaptation, I feel like the book captures not only what happened to Anne and the seven other people who hid with her, but also her thoughts, feelings and ideas. I loved the more abstract, dream-like illustrations and the fact that longer passages were included.<\/p>\n

#11. The Life of Frederick Douglass: A Graphic Narrative of a Slave’s Journey from Bondage to Freedom <\/em>(2019)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By: David F. Walker, Damon Smyth and Marissa Louise<\/p>\n

Frederick Douglass is one of the best-known American abolitionists and orators from the 19th century. After escaping slavery, he became a public speaker and writer who exposed the brutal realities of slavery. His autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, <\/em>is still read today. This 2019 graphic adaptation takes readers on a journey from Douglass\u2019 childhood to his life as a speaker and activist for the abolitionist movement<\/a>. The book also includes information on the history of American slavery and photography, which played a major role in Douglass\u2019 prominence as a cultural figure.<\/p>\n

The Life of Frederick Douglass <\/em>is available from Bookshop<\/a> and other retailers, as well as many libraries.<\/p>\n

#12. Gender Queer<\/em> (2019)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By: Maia Kobabe<\/p>\n

When Maia Kobabe began to wrestle with eir gender identity, an autobiographical comic was not something e considered writing. However, eir loved ones had trouble understanding what it meant to be nonbinary<\/a> and asexual, and so Gender Queer <\/em>was born. This graphic work explores Maia\u2019s reflections and experiences with identity, gender<\/a>, family, sex, medical trauma and more. Because it contains some graphic imagery and themes, it\u2019s best for older teens and adults.<\/p>\n

You can find Gender Queer at most retailers (like Bookshop<\/a>) and public libraries.<\/p>\n

Our review<\/strong>: Part guide and part memoir, Gender Queer <\/em>is unflinchingly personal. It doesn\u2019t shy away from any of the awkward, confusing or painful parts of a self-discovery journey, which I found powerful. While the book is more or less structured chronologically, it can feel a bit scattered at times, but I was never lost for long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":15143,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8805],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-issues","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n12
