Stassen. Deogratias: a tale of Rwanda. Trans. by Alexis Siegel. First Second, New York: 2006.

In this short but powerful graphic novel, Stassen brings to our attention the life of a young Rwanda teen and his contemporaries as they are forced to live through and try to understand a tragic period in human history; the Rwandan Genocide.

Deogratias is a exceptionally illustrated and well-written novel dealing with a complicated and heart breaking subject. Memorable for both the tale told and the images left, I would recommend this for ages high school and up.
