An absolutely beautiful adaptation of the original (which, honestly, I don't remember that well, as I was probably eight or nine when I read it). A useful "Lapine Glossary" is located at the end.

When Fiver has a vision of impending doom, he, Hazel, and a few others leave their warren and strike out on their own, in search of a place of safety and freedom. Throughout are tales of El-ahrairah, told by Dandelion.

Quotes

"And I will proudly tell it. As the old saying goes, 'Our children's children will hear a good story.'" (306)

"A rabbit safe and sound is a rabbit underground." (306)

"Adapting this book often felt less like using our imagination and more like documenting a historical event." -James Sturm

I am always skeptical of adaptations of books I love, but this graphic novel version of Watership Down is, simply, brilliant. Beautifully done, carefully adapted: a complete delight.

Continuing on my journey into biographical comics for younger readers. This one crossed my desk and I couldn't resist! Satchel Paige is at once a baseball superstar and an enigma. He apparently pitched professionally into his 60s, though nobody knows, because he never disclosed (or possibly never knew) his true age. This graphic biography is actually narrated by a Black man from Alabama who managed to figure out Paige in his one and only at-bat against him. The story is largely about that narrator, Emmet, who is at the mercy of Jim Crow and his white employers, landowners who have no interest in improving the conditions of their Black employees and neighbours. When Satchel Paige's Negro All-Star team comes to their town to play against those white twins, who had a brief career in baseball, Emmet finds himself reliving his past, and examining the man he has become. Every story about the inequality faced by African Americans during Jim Crow wrenches my heart, and this one is no different. The illustrations are stark but rich, not unlike the southern culture they portray. There are disturbing elements here, but it is a story every child should know.… (mais)
