★ The thematic and literary richness of this story is exhilarating.-- Horn Book, starred review★ An important and accessible modern tale.-- School Library Journal, starred review From celebrated Indigenous author Thomas King and award-winning M tis artist Natasha Donovan comes a powerful graphic novel about a family caught between nations.
Borders is a masterfully told story of a boy and his mother whose road trip is thwarted at the border when they identify their citizenship as Blackfoot. Refusing to identify as either American or Canadian first bars their entry into the US, and then their return into Canada. In the limbo between countries, they find power in their connection to their identity and to each other.
Borders explores nationhood from an Indigenous perspective and resonates deeply with themes of identity, justice, and belonging.
