Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by Octavia E. Butler
4.5
Reading this while the world is currently what it is is scary. It shows how one young woman is trying to figure out how to live in the world she lives in that is not safe. She's trying to figure out how to continue to keep herself and those she cares about safe, while those around her just want to continue on with how things are. It's the very real thing that so many young people are dealing with when wanting to make the world around them a better place. We see our main character finding ways to protect herself, figuring out what she believes is the right thing to do, and how to plan even just a little bit for the future.
Overall I do think this is a must-read for everyone as the world around us is changing rapidly and we need to be more focused on community and keeping those we care about safe.
I ended up reading this one as a graphic novel, because I cannot get the novel version from any of my local libraries right now.
