This book offers a good snippet into a larger conversation about borders, citizenship, and native nations. Good for middle grade readers, this book offers a bite size story that will be comprehensible to middle grade readers without much outside context. It would be a good choice for a book club as there are many topics that can be expanded upon with other sources and conversations.

Wow, what an illuminating read. As a white Canadian, I’ve admittedly never given much thought to how Indigenous people may identify as citizens of this country. I’m so glad I read this, and am aware of such a perspective. The unlearning of our engrained colonialism and white supremacy never stops.

Not only was the art beautiful in this, but I appreciated the storytelling and the perspective. It was a quick read, but definitely an impactful one.
