Lyric Hooey

I definitely thought there was going to be dialogue in this short graphic novel, but once I got used to just the song lyrics it actually made everything more emotional. Definitely can finish this fast, but it's worth it. A sad reality in Canada's history.

Brian Cotie

Incredibly moving experience reading this book while listening to the album.

Shawna Gavas

This book evokes so many emotions. It's beautiful. It's honest. It's disturbing. It's horrific. It's sad. It will haunt you long after you put it down.

This is the story of Chanie Wenjack and it's a story that every Canadian should read.
