White all around by Wilfrid Lupano
5.0

This was gorgeous
The art, the story, the history was just sublime. I had no idea about Miss Crandalls school before reading this graphic novel, but I was taken on a whimsical and heart wrenching story of a school that taught people a backwards wicked society deemed as "unworthy" to be taught just because of the colour of their skin. The characters were vibrant like the art, and I loved following them for the brief period the novel covers, and while the story of the school ends in tragedy there is hope in the end, with the glossary at the end giving hope and showing that some good still came from such a bleak moment in time.
