Michael might be young, but he's got a big heart and a strong sense of right and wrong. He knows it's right to help people when they need it--but what can he do when so many people need help?
When Michael finds out about an upcoming youth conference, he sees his chance to learn more about helping others. But when he gets to the conference, he's the youngest person there! And the speaker on stage is saying things about his community that aren't true. Will Michael be brave enough to use his voice to stand up for what he knows is right?
Little by Little is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel about how one Indigenous child sparked change and inspired others.
In this heartfelt and often-funny memoir, author Sonya Ballantyne gives us a look at her younger self's diary and inner life as she struggles to find herself in the pop culture she loves.
Before she was a successful writer, Sonya Ballantyne was just another kid growing up on the rez, searching for her place in the world. Her love of comics, fantasy novels, movies, and all things geeky helped her understand her life at school, her relationships with her family, and her identity. But growing up wasn't easy and Sonya faced racism and bullying at school. Sonya takes the lessons from superhero comics to be brave in the face of adversity, to grow from strife, and to keep pushing forward towards her dreams. How did she find her way to the other side and live to tell the tale?
