Really enjoying No Country with our boy — we’ve hit page 100 in two days!
It’s sparked loads of discussion about democracy, authoritarianism, refugees, and what it means to live freely.
Probably one of the most thought-provoking things we’ve read together in ages.
Highly recommended (though maybe not for easily spooked kids).

Started No Country: A Nation at War by Joe Brady & Patrice Aggs with Ethan — a beautiful, powerful graphic novel from the team behind The Phoenix. Set in a country tearing itself apart, but full of hope and heart.

With the numerous crossings he’d made, the border patrol already knew him. The search was more punishment than serious. They made the cursory search, which included a drug-sniffing dog, but the lockbox stayed hidden.

“Right, pull over there.”

It might be just me and today is probably one of the worst days to voice it, but... since always I quietly judge people who parade country flags around, rather it be in their front yard, cloth ware or even in a video game avatar.

Is it a way of saying that they are proud to be randomly born under a certain government ruling inside imaginary border lines? 🤷‍♂️
