A People Magazine Best Book Fall 2021
From celebrated Indigenous author Thomas King and award-winning Métis
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.
