Today is the 5th anniversary of when me and Chris first dropped the trailer for our comic book series, Seeds of Spring. I still find this video really fun and charming.

It's a comic about Naguset, a modern Canadian Mi'kmaq teenager, who exchanges books and mix tapes with her pen pal, Chris. Her imagination sparks when he sends her a biography of the 19th century Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin. The story juxtaposes Naguset's personal and political coming-of-age in her loving family home with Kropotkin's rocky upbringing in a princely palace. These two stories of eventful lives and bold hearts are interwoven with Kropotkin's theories of freedom, Mi'kmaq vocabulary and social history, and an uplifting punk soundtrack, creating a unique reading experience bound to inspire readers to think in new ways about the issues of our time.

Digital copies of the 6 current books are available via my Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/shop
