The Scout: Tommy Prince is a wonderfully illustrated full-colour graphic novel that through images and words, portrays the emotions and experiences of Tommy Prince. Its impact on young readers, including university students, provides grounds for discussion and an engaging visual connection to human experience. It is a definite must-read, that is both accessible and engaging while offering a lesson about the past and engaging with the present. As part of a larger series called, Tales From the Big Spirit, that highlight the lives of other important Indigenous people, The Scout: Tommy Prince, ably brings an important Anishinaabe hero from Brokenhead First Nation to the fore.
