If I Go Missing by Brianna Jonnie

emotional fast-paced

5.0

This was such a beautifully done book on such an important and prevalent issue. I particularly love the use of red as the only colour against the greyscale illustrations to help emphasize the issue at hand, with the use of the red symbolism from the movement. I cannot recommend this enough, MMIWG&2s is such a vital conversation to have and this is a great introduction to it, with additional resources at the end (I am adding them below) as well as the original letter that inspired this book.
