Book Description

March 19, 2010 7 Generations (Book 1)
Stone introduces Edwin, a young man who must discover his family s past if he is to have any future. Edwin learns of his ancestor Stone, a young Plains Cree man, who came of age in the early 19th century. Following a vision quest, Stone aspires to be like his older brother, Bear, a member of the Warrior Society. But when Bear is tragically killed during a Blackfoot raid, Stone, the best shot and rider in his encampment, must overcome his grief and avenge his brother s death. Only then can he begin a new life with his bride, Nahoway. It is Stone s story that drives Edwin to embark on his own quest.
Stone is the first book in the graphic novel series, 7 Generations. Forthcoming books in this series are
Book 2: Scars, the story of the orphan White Cloud, set against the smallpox epidemic of 1870-1871.
Book 3: Ends/Begins, the story of Edwin s father, and the residential school saga.
Book 4: The Pact, a story of redemption, as father and his son reconcile their past and begin a new journey.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The graphic novel Stone offers a powerful message through image and word, and will engage readers in an historical and insightful story that illuminates the conflict that challenged Canada's very core, and continues to concern us as a Nation today.
David Booth
Author, Educator
OISE/Univ. of Toronto --David Booth

The gifted talents of author David A. Robertson and illustrator Scott Henderson make the reading of Stone comparable to watching a fascinating mini-movie. ... It captures us emotionally and immediately. This is our story. Healing lies in knowing our past, not just of our lives, but also the distant past of our ancestors. The interweaving movements from present to past and past to present are like waves of cleansing waters washing in to the present, and back out to that distant past. It s mesmerizing.
Beatrice Mosionier, author, April Raintree --Beatrice Mosionier
