My Little Sweet Boy by Hilary Duff

May 5, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have said it before, that I do not usually expect a lot of a celebrity written book and in particular a picture books. I am not a Hilary Duff fan, but I was pleasantly surprised by her My Little Sweet Boy. The idea is simple, the narrator says all the things they hope for their child, the things the child will see and do and experience. The child will need to be patient, wait in lines, and feel the feels they must feel. They […]

Dear Boy by Paris Rosenthal

May 23, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I do not remember reading mother and daughter Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Paris Rosenthal’s collaboration Dear Girl. But if I had, it obviously did not make much of an impression. Therefore, I was unsure what to exactly expect from daughter and father collaborators, Paris and Jason Rosenthal’s Dear Boy. Though, I had my suspicions. And basically, what came out of my reading of Dear Boy was exactly what I was expecting: a sentimental, modern, touchy-feely and obvious book. It is a “make yourself a kinder, […]
