Pitch Black by Youme and Anthony Horton

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

That conversation of the above line is at the end of the beginning of Pitch Black (I am seeing the title as just Pitch Black and as Pitch Black: don’t be skerd but I will go with just Pitch Black). The rest of the book will deal with probably the biggest story you will see in a short graphic novel. One day Youme meets Anthony “Tony” Horton in the subway. Tony shows her a world that few know exists, let alone sees. It is the […]

The known and maybe you’ll figure out

What Will I Discover by Tanya Lloyd Kyi

March 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, Genre (science simplified & how you can do it) What Will I Discover is at the surface an easy story. It is just about scientists and what they know, but then it goes deeper into what they do not know. And our narrator starts explaining all the wonderful things that are still left to be discovered, and they might be the person to do so. Tanya Lloyd Kyi has a sweet story about science and even a little about imagination. Yes, it says it […]

Luz Jimenez, Daughter of the Nahua – Guest Post by Terry T

Child of the Flower-Song People by Gloria Amescua, Duncan Tonatiuh

March 22, 2023 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Throughout history, the lives of certain individuals, when examined closely, illustrate the times in which they lived. This was true of the life of Luz Jimenez. The famous muralists and other artists of Mexico considered Luz to be the perfect model of the Indigenous Woman. She remarked at one time that she didn’t need a picture of herself because she was portrayed all over Mexico City. I heard Ms. Amescua read a part of Child of the Flower-Song People this past weekend. She stated that she […]

An unorthodox biography for an unorthodox princess

Diana: My Graphic Obsession by Sivan Piatigorsky-Roth

March 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport (other country English princess/Canadian author), Awhile back I contacted the company Street Noise for a few reader copies and put myself on their radar so I could receive emails from Liz like she sent the other day. This email was promoting a mid-June 2023 graphic novel release called Diana: My Graphic Obsession by Sivan Piatigorsky-Roth. Attached was an online reader link and boy did I want to read it. But I was at work and must wait. When I finally etched out reading time, […]

How does your island grow?

Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland by ÆVar þÓr Benediktsson’s

March 21, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport other country (Iceland) What would you do if you were stranded on a brand new, active volcano?  Well, I do not know about you, but I do not think I would fall asleep like the two characters of ÆVar þÓr Benediktsson’s book, Stranded!: A Mostly True Story from Iceland did. You see, back in the mid-to-late 1960s a volcano was created off the coast of Iceland. This brand-new island was really hot stuff (literally)! It was still flowing molten lava to the point if you […]

CBR15Passport already own   Do you want fun facts about brains? And about animal minds in particular? Then you need the picture book by Jocelyn Rish and David Creighton-Pester that is called, Battle of the Brains: The Science Behind Animal Minds. And while it could have used some more humor (though brains are hard to be funny about, since they are seriously interesting), it still has some funny moment and is an interesting book to read. We follow a handful of different animas (from a […]
