Rabbit chase [graphic novel] / Elizabeth LaPenše ; [illustrations by] KC Oster ; Anishinaabemowin translation by Aarin Dokum.
"Anishinaabe culture and storytelling meet Alice in Wonderland in this coming-of-age graphic novel that explores Indigenous and gender issues through a fresh yet familiar looking glass. Aim̌e, a non-binary Anishinaabe middle-schooler, is on a class trip to offer gifts to Paayehnsag, the water spirits known to protect the land. While stories are told about the water spirits and the threat of the land being taken over for development, Aim̌e zones out, distracting themselves from the bullying and isolation they've experienced since expressing their non-binary identity. When Aim̌e accidentally wanders off, they are transported to an alternate dimension populated by traditional Anishinaabe figures in a story inspired by Alice in Wonderland. To gain the way back home, Aim̌e is called on to help Trickster by hunting down dark water spirits with guidance from Paayehnsag. On their journey, Aim̌e faces off with the land-grabbing Queen and her robotic guards and fights the dark water spirits against increasingly stacked odds. Illustrated by KC Oster with a modern take on their own Ojibwe style and cultural representation, Rabbit Chase is a story of self-discovery, community, and finding one's place in the world."-- Provided by publisher.
