The Scout: Tommy Prince is a wonderfully illustrated full-colour
graphic novel that through images and words, portrays the emotions
and experiences of Tommy Prince. Its impact on young readers,
including university students, provides grounds for discussion and
an engaging visual connection to human experience. It is a definite
must-read, that is both accessible and engaging while offering a
lesson about the past and engaging with the present. As part of a
larger series called, Tales From the Big Spirit, that highlight the
lives of other important Indigenous people, The Scout: Tommy
Prince, ably brings an important Anishinaabe hero from Brokenhead
First Nation to the fore.--Karl Hele "Anishinabek News"
