The Most Costly Journey: Stories of Migrant Farmworkers in Vermont Drawn by New England Cartoonists by Andy Kolovos, Marek Bennett, Julia Grand Doucet

challenging informative sad fast-paced

4.0

A powerful example of the potential of comics on so many levels - informing the general population, providing folks with a unique form of mental health support (those telling the stories and others like them reading it), informing those that work with this unique population (as bosses, co-workers, medical professionals). Everyone should read it, but those that live in Vermont especially must. Absolutely mind boggling to think about what some folks go through just to come here and work their butts off. Some people like it here, some don't. I truly hope those in power in the state have read this and consider ways they can help make these migrant workers lives more supportive.
