Borders #[nn]

A young boy stands alone on a golden prairie, while two larger ghostly figures — a woman and another young person — loom large in the purple-hued background behind him, their presence feeling both protective and weighty. Thomas King's story and Natasha Donovan's warm, expressive illustrations make Borders a graphic novel that feels both intimate and quietly powerful. A TD Canadian Children's Literature Award Finalist, this 2021 HarperCollins release comes with high praise from Margaret Atwood herself — reason enough to pick it up.
