The great February book haul: I‘m always on the lookout for books for #litsyatoz. And these are literally #letter A to #letterZ
Thank you to our lovely #MidwinterSolace hosts for this little envelope of happy that arrived today. My kids are back in school and I can finally take some time to breath into the quiet, so it really was the perfect timing for a beautiful pick me up package. I absolutely love Owls, and Owls in head gear are even better 😊

pickGraphic novel - highlights the open letter that Indigenous teen Brianna Jonnie wrote to Winnipeg Police Force. Original letter included at the end. Effectively makes point that many other missing teens receive immediate attention from police, media, and public. She applauds that attention; she recognizes how necessary it is. But I could feel her pain that Indigenous women do not receive the same treatment, and are actually negatively labeled.
pickPoignant and impactful. “If I Go Missing” is the graphic novelization of Brianna Jonnie‘s 2016 letter to the Winnipeg Chief of Police pointing out that “missing indigenous girls are not afforded the same courtesies” as other missing persons. At the age of fourteen, Brianna taught us how each of the missing are to be honored by law enforcement and the media in order to afford each individual the dignity they deserve. 5⭐️for a powerful message.
pickIn 2016, at the age of 14, Brianna Jonnie sent a letter to Winnipeg Police Service imploring them to do a better job investigating missing persons cases of Indigenous people, particularly women and girls. This book takes words from her letter and adds art depicting the images evoked by Jonnie‘s letter. ⬇️
