George

Written and Illustrated by Alex Lowe

A 20-year-old university student discovers the grave of a man named George; a soldier from the First World War, who died when he was her age. Putting together the pieces of George’s life from details on his tombstone, a portrait of the ordinary human being he once was begins to emerge.
A moving story of humanity and loss accompanied by stunning illustrations, George offers a contemporary perspective on Canadian history and the continued importance of Remembrance.
