Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection<\/strong> Hope Nicholson has gathered 14 stories in this anthology which explores the vast of array of indigenous storytelling in North America. The first is an excerpt from Daredevil\/Echo: Vision Quest<\/em>. \u00a0Echo, an indigenous and Latin superhero who is deaf, tells how as a child she learned to communicate through sign, music, art, dance, and gesture, \u201clistening\u201d to her father and a tribal elder\u2019s storytelling. The rich artwork depicts these many layers of communication, overlapping indigenous sign language, the child\u2019s school drawings, detailed portraits, pencil drawings, callouts, and objects such as lace and children\u2019s toy blocks. Another selection, Ochek, a retelling of the Cree story of the Dog Star constellation, draws a stark contrast with it\u2019s vivid, eye popping design. Although Moonshot is shelved in the Curriculum Collection along with children\u2019s and young adult titles, this graphic anthology of traditional and new stories will draw in readers of all ages.<\/p>\n What began as a Kickstarter campaign received the Bronze Medal in the 20th Annual Independent Publisher’s Awards<\/a>\u00a0 for “Best Graphic Novel” as well as “The Best Book of 2015<\/a>” \u00a0by the School Library Journal in the Young Adult category.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection Edited by Hope Nicholson F Moo Curriculum Collection, Fiction, 2nd floor Hope Nicholson has gathered 14 stories in this anthology which explores the vast of array of indigenous storytelling in North America.
