ReviewsThis gorgeous volume that retells this story from pre-colonial America is intelligently written and page after page full of vividly individualistic artwork that is a marvel to read and enjoy whether you know the details of the tale or not. Poetic and energetic., Here is a story that will greatly resonate with anyone struggling with issues of Otherness. Spirited and quite informative., Unlike Disney's focus on the more romantic and mythic elements of Pocahontas' relationship with Captain John Smith, this version of the story depicts a young woman not acting out of love, but instead preventing an execution that she believes to be morally wrong. The art by Loc Locatelli-Kournwsky balances simple and easy-to-read character designs with detailed environments and costumes., This version of Pocahontas's history is effective in highlighting a sense of displacement with both her tribe and the English. All parties are refreshingly dimensional--there are good and bad characters in both camps. Hatched shadows are used to add atmosphere and highlight characters from backgrounds. Many panes wordlessly illustrate transitions in Pocahontas's life entirely through expressions and body language--dialogue is unnecessary., Unlike Disney's focus on the more romantic and mythic elements of Pocahontas' relationship with Captain John Smith, this version of the story depicts a young woman not acting out of love, but instead preventing an execution that she believes to be morally wrong. The art by Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky balances simple and easy-to-read character designs with detailed environments and costumes.
