Combining graphic fiction and non-fiction, this young adult graphic novel serves as a window into one of the unique dangers of being an Indigenous teen in Canada today. The text of the book is derived from excerpts of a letter written to the Winnipeg Chief of Police by fourteen-year-old Brianna Jonnie ― a letter that went viral. In her letter, Jonnie calls out the authorities for neglecting to immediately investigate missing Indigenous people and urges them to "not treat me as the Indigenous person I am proud to be," if she were to be reported missing. The artwork for the book imagines a situation in which a young Indigenous woman does disappear, portraying the reaction of her community, her friends, the police and media. An author's note at the end of the book provides context for young readers about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada. "This book would be a great addition to a literature circle or introduction to a unit on Indigenous perspectives for any high school classroom or library." -- CM: Canadian Review of Materials "It’s a powerful text ― one that should be read, and discussed, in every social studies classroom." ― Montreal Gazette "A poignant spotlight onto the difficulties Indigenous women face. Every library should have a copy of this potent work." ― School Library Journal, starred review "Emotive writing and beautiful imagery aside, if you know anyone who has a lack of empathy for Indigenous communities, make them read this book." ― The Charity Report Literary Hub "Jonnie’s words are accompanied by intensely emotional illustrations." ― Booklist Online "This short graphic novel drives home a powerful message with its poetic prose." ― CM: Canadian Review of Materials "A beautiful, haunting, and accurate account of a brave teenager who sought justice for her people. I will never forget this beautiful graphic novel with its equally gorgeous images." ― NetGalley "This is a must-read for audiences to appreciate the Indigenous community in Canada." ― Holr Magazine "The haunting plea of a young Indigenous woman endures long after the cover is closed." ― Region of Waterloo Library "Jonnie’s words hold a gravity and maturity to them well beyond her years." ― Region of Waterloo Library A powerfully illustrated graphic novel for teens about the subject of missing and murdered Indigenous people BRIANNA JONNIE is an Ojibwe.
