Trickster: Native American tales

Trickster: Native American Tales , a graphic collection / edited by Matt Dembicki

Well, I might have a new favourite graphic novel. I loved this collection of trickster stories. Matt Dembicki selected native american storytellers from across the continent and then also selected illustrators from across the continent and helped match them up- to put forth this awesome collection of pourquoi stories (pourquoi means - a story that explains why something is the way it is), some stories teach young children rules or lessons, some are funny, some a bit scary. In general I think there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

Here's part of the summary from the back cover:
Meet the trickster, a crafty creature or being who disrupts the order of things, often humiliating others and sometimes himself in the process. Whether a coyote or rabbit, raccon or raven, tricksters use cunning to get food, steal precious possessions, or simply cause mischief.
