Trickster: Native American Tales


Dembicki, M. (2010). Trickster: Native American Tales: A Graphic Collection. Golden, CO: Fulcrum Books. 

Matt Dembicki, editor of Trickster, began researching the graphic novels available for Native Americans and found a nearly non-existent selection.  He then compiled storytellers and allowed them to select from a pool of illustrators and together these artists were able to document and forever preserve a collection of Native American tales.  This is a collection of 21 stories, each uniquely illustrated and told.  Each story is a quick and easy read.  The storytellers include James and Joseph Bruchac among other popular artists.  (Grade 7 and up).
